Für eine hochwertige Schriftfamilie musste man schon immer tief in die Tasche greifen. Die Preisspanne für renommierte Schnitte wie Helvetica, Frutiger oder Avenir startet etwa bei 20-25 € pro Schnitt oder 400-500 € pro Familie. Nicht zu Unrecht, denn eine glasklare typografische Darstellung ist mit einem hohen Arbeitsaufwand verbunden, der sich häufig in monate- oder jahrelanger Arbeit widerspiegelt.
"What I do not buy into is the idea that all systems should be seen either as services that expose their functionality only via unidirectional XML messaging or as clients of such systems"
A. Newell, and H. Simon. Communications of the ACM, 19 (3):
113-126(March 1976)p. 116:
"The Physical Symbol System Hypothesis. A physical
symbol system has the necessary and sufficient
means for general intelligent action."
p. 120:
"Heuristic Search Hypothesis. The solutions to
problems are represented as symbol structures.
A physical symbol system exercises its intelligence
in problem solving by search--that is, by
generating and progressively modifying symbol
structures until it produces a solution structure."
p. 121:
"To state a problem is to designate (1) a test
for a class of symbol structures (solutions of the
problem), and (2) a generator of symbol structures
(potential solutions). To solve a problem is
to generate a structure, using (2), that satisfies
the test of (1).".
