有没有想过报纸是在前数字时代生产的吗?每一个字，每一个字都要有库存才能印刷。在台北的中心，这些汉字仍然是用熔铅制造的。
日兴字体铸造厂是中国最后一家汉字字体生产厂家台湾．This rare typographic gem manufactures and sells traditional Chinese movable type character, and may well be the last Chinese type foundry in the world.
The foundry boasts about 120,000 different molds.The molds will produce three distinct typefaces in multiple fonts.Rows of wooden shelves fill the space, each stacked with different fonts.In the back, you’ll see a room full of different molding and casting machines used to create the type.
Chang Chien-Kuan, the owner, is the driving force behind the foundry’s success.His work is tedious and time-consuming, but he spends each day repairing the old molds.Chien-Kuan is a master practitioner of Chinese letterpress printing but sadly has not found anyone to pass his knowledge down to.His dedication and skills are what keeps the foundry—and the practice as a whole—from fading into the past.
三思而后行
离台北火车站不远。对面有一家不错的古董文具店也值得一去。
