THis seems to make a specific reference to a font, Roman as opposed to italics, but I can't make sense of it:
Para aproximarnos al canon que propongo a continuación, invito al lector a repasar en tres tiempos el poema y el texto bíblico: del lado izquierdo, una lectura de las letras redondas solamente ; del lado derecho, una lectura exclusiva de las itálicas (salmos bíblicos que, desde las ventanas del texto, advierten de los peligros de la soberbia) y una lectura -continuamente interferida- de ambos textos.

Spanish term (edited):
letra redonda
Selected
Roman/non-italic letter
"En la imprenta, la letra redonda, o redondilla es un estilo de letra que se caracteriza por mantener verticales las astas que van de arriba abajo y redondeadas sus letras cortas. Es el estilo de letra normal por oposición a las letras cursivas o negritas de un juego o familia tipográfica."
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letra_redonda
This links to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_type
which says:
"In Latin script typography, roman is one of the three main kinds of historical type, alongside blackletter and italic."
Personally I would say "non-italic", as most people won't know what Roman means. I didn't, and had to look it up.

As my reference shows, it should be lower case, "roman".

text in Roman font/non-italicized text
It seems to be referring to non-italicized lines of text in the left column of the document and italicized lines of text in the right one.

regular roman letters
I would add "regular," which is what MS Word calls it, and add "roman" for further clarification.

: You haven't explained what you mean by 'regular' or why it's important, and MS Word calls it 'Not Italics'.

In the font menu on MS word it's called "Regular." "Not italics" is a searching function, not the name of a font.
