他们和爱因斯坦一样,因自己的发明而后悔

今天是爱因斯坦逝世60周年纪念日,他曾建议美国制造原子弹,但后来将此视为一生中最大的错误。像他一样,还有很多创造性的天才为自己的“杰作”而后悔。比如AK47之父,还有弹出式广告和办公隔间的发明者。

    6.Comic Sans字体

    Comic Sans字体似乎成了人见人恨的过街老鼠,网上甚至还发起过“抵制Comic Sans字体”活动。它的发明人文森特•康奈尔为了促进儿童学习电脑的积极性,于1994年发明了这种字体。但后来该字体被微软的Windows操作系统吸纳为标准字体之一,似乎有了自己的生命,不过它出现的地方往往都应该由一种更庄重的字体替代。

    Comic Sans字体已经成了康奈尔的负担。康奈尔目前供职于一家排版工作室。他表示,每次看见它都觉得糟心。他对《华尔街日报》表示:“如果你喜欢它,那么你基本上不懂排版。如果你讨厌它,你还是不懂排版,而且你应该找一个其它爱好。”

    6.Comic Sans

    Comic Sans is the whimsical typeface everybody loves to hate, which has inspired the online Ban Comic Sans campaign.Vincent Connare, the man responsible for its existence, created it for a computer education program for children in 1994. But once it was included as a standard typeface in the Microsoft Windows operating system, it took on life of its own, mostly going places a more dignified choice should go.

    It’s become the legacy of Connare, who works at a typography studio and says he cringes whenever he see Comic Sans. "If you love it, you don't know much about typography,” he told the Wall Street Journal, adding, "if you hate it, you really don't know much about typography, either, and you should get another hobby."
