We are all familiar with the ways that the computer can be used to store, manipulate, and render text. We take good type for granted: today, in a few minutes, we can format and print a document that surpasses in quality what would have required years of work at a printing press. In the process we lose something of the artistry of hand printing, but we accept the trade-off because of the great benefits of efficient communication.

我们都熟悉计算机用来存储、操作和呈现文本的方式。我们认为好的字体是理所当然的：今天，在几分钟内，我们可以格式化和打印一份文件，其质量超过了在印刷机上需要多年工作的质量。在这个过程中，我们失去了一些手印的艺术性，但我们接受了这种权衡，因为有效的沟通带来了巨大的好处。
