The excellent book Typo Friedl, Ott and Stein is a generously-sized encyclopaedia in French, English and German parallel text. Also available is Huib van Krimpen and Rob van de Elzen's Grafischzakboek with main text in Dutch and terms/headings translated into English, German, Italian and Spanish. Neither of these may be exactly what you want, but they may prove helpful, and both are very fine books.

Hello... I've just wandered into these forums myself (and am a copywriter with an unhealthy fascination with type).
Designing one's own seems like such a massive undertaking, I'm impressed with just the idea of doing it... can't wait to see yours,too!
