relief négatif
Explanation:
Une possibilité.
Raised relief positif, uniform sans relief, bref.
Evidemment, c'est un "terme d'interface", qui doit correpondre à ce qu'on voit à l'écran.
J'ai toujours trouvé étrange qu'on donne des manuels à traduire sans prévoir les traductions d'interface: le manuel ne servira pas à grand-chose si ces "termes d'interface" ne sont pas cohérents.

agree  Tony M: It's talking about the style of the lettering used, like 'embossed' etc. (which is 'Raised' here) — if you have a FR copy of Word etc., you'll be able to see the term used; has also been asked before on KudoZ.

  -> Thanks Tony. There is a variety of alternatives to translate these display options in FR, some "official" translations (embossé?) are more painful to my eyes than others. I like this one.

neutral  Tony M: Here, it's not talking about a button, but a font style.

disagree  Tony M: There is nothing in the source text to suggest this: it is just a font style, the opposite of 'embossed' / Even when specifically opposing 'raised'?! Simply not plausible in the context here. Please give refs.?

  -> Well from my research, a depressed font is one which looks handwritten
