Not a specific Realms typo, but to this day, my favorite typographic error was in the first printing of the first volume of the Encyclopedia Magica, where all weapons and magical functions dealt various amounts of "dawizard" to foes.

I heard about that. A bad usage of Find/Replace All, I believe. You'd think, though, that a spellcheck (pun not intended!) would have found that. |

Like with Tempus (in Finder's stone). Chaotic deities, and all that.

You'd think a lot of normal editorial checks would have discovered that, but apparently not. It may have been done late in the process and not rechecked, for all I know. Regardless, it gave my group hours of amusement (it became our standard word for damage for a while), so I don't mind at all. :D
