1. According to ‘a certain Chinese Encyclopaedia,’ The Celestial Emporium of Benevolent Knowledge, typefaces are divided into the following categories:

    1. those used to typeset the words of the Emperor,
    2. no longer available ones,
    3. those that are good for ‘the small print’,
    4. the ones you used last week,
    5. those that remind you of former lovers,
    6. fabulous ones,
    7. those in unknown formats,
    8. those included in the present classification,
    9. those you have forgotten,
    10. innumerable ones,
    11. those that are too light to be used for the present job,
    12. others,
    13. those in which the g ‘just looks wrong’,
    14. those that will be used to typeset this list.
