I also happened across this example of a citation created by gifted calligrapher John Stevens. It rather dramatically shows the stark difference between computer fonts and the organic quality of great calligraphy. As John so eloquently states: “The life of writing as understood by calligraphers...is nothing like a computer font. One can 'feel' the difference. Fonts try to imitate this look and feel, but to the aware eye, there is no comparison.”
