Bold-faced. Since the introduction of the computer, type design has become available to a wide audience like never shown before in history. Of course the digitalization makes many acts easier and particularly faster. This doesn't mean it automatically gets better, but that's another story. For example, many font software programs have included an option to 'bolden up' your regular weight. The outlines of the perfectly designed font get expanded, but the program is trying to fool you. That's not a bold. It's a limousine which got quickly extended by a local blacksmith. The contrast will probably be destroyed (see the second 'a' in the drawing). Doing this by hand will give a much more pleasurable result. No matter how well font software programs will improve in the future, there is only one thing that really counts in the end: your critical eye.
計算機(jī)的普及，使得廣大的用戶得以接觸到字體設(shè)計，這在以前是從未有過的。數(shù)字化讓許多操作變得更簡單和快捷，但不意味著它會自動的獲得更好的結(jié)果，那完全是兩碼事。舉個例子，許多字體軟件都包含一個字體“加粗”選項(xiàng)，能將原先完美設(shè)計的字體輪廓加以擴(kuò)展。但實(shí)際上軟件只是在欺騙你。那并非真正的粗體，那只是一輛由村里的鐵匠臨時改長的“加長型”豪華轎車。筆畫的粗細(xì)比率可能全被破壞了（見圖例中第二個a）。手工操作的結(jié)果會更令人滿意。不管將來的軟件如何進(jìn)步，最終起決定作用的東西只有一個：你銳利的眼光。
