I certainly have an appreciation for a well crafted font. As a programmer I am super picky and opinionated about the font I use for coding. I can have a very visceral reaction to one font over another. (For instance, I require really good clarity between O/0, and I/l/1, and I really really hate ligatures.) That being said, I have very little knowledge about what goes into actually crafting a font. Whenever I read an article like this that goes into how the sausage is made I find it very fascinating.
