……它们不是f，而是长s（long s）：http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_s。你在大肆喷排印之前，应该先去读读排版学。罗伯特·布林赫斯特（Robert Bringhurst）的《The Elements of Typographic Style》或沃伦·查佩尔（Warren Chappell）的《A Short History of the Printed Word》都是极佳的入门读物。
…f’s, they’re long s’s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_s. You should read up on typography before decrying things about it. Robert Bringhurst’s The Elements of Typographic Style or Warren Chappell’s A Short History of the Printed Word are two great places to start.

沃伦·查佩尔的《A Short History of the Printed Word》——还有他的《The Living Alphabet》，以及他表亲奥斯卡·奥格的《The 26 Letters》，因为它们激发了我一生对文字和书籍的热爱，让我最终从事了……
_A Short History of the Printed Word_ by Warren Chappell --- also his _The Living Alphabet, and his cousin Oscar Ogg's _The 26 Letters_ because they inspired in me a lifelong love of the written word and of books, resulting in a career in…
点头。罗伯特·布林赫斯特的《The Elements of Typographic Style》[1]简直怎么推荐都不为过。《A Short History of the Printed Word》也很好，但我发现前者绝对是不可或缺的。[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elements_of_Typographic_Sty...
nod Can't recommend Robert Bringhurst's 'The Elements of Typographic Style'[1] enough. 'A Short History of the Printed Word' is also good, but I've found the former to be indispensable. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elements_of_Typographic_Sty...
