This is a terrible way to begin.

That thing over there looks more like a g than an I.

But what am I supposed to do?

If I’m committed to a book of I’s, setting them, in alphabetical order, in 100 of the 240 fonts I happen to have loaded in my word-processing software, then I have to start with an I in the font called #필기체.

I don’t even know what language that it is.

If I click on it, it says it’s Apple Gothic, which actually looks like this.

But if I highlight a text and select #필기체, then I get a face that looks like this.

WTF.

I am in earnest—I will not equivocate—I will not excuse—I will not retreat a single inch—AND I WILL BE HEARD.
