Fallback Font - Apple's Last Resort Font

Apple's Last Resort Font

Apple's Last Resort Font is a Mac OS system font that is identical to the Unicode Last Resort Font (which was created for the Unicode consortium by Apple).

Apple's Last Resort font was first included in Mac OS 8.5 in 1998, for the benefit of applications using Apple Type Services for Unicode Imaging (ATSUI). It is also used in Mac OS X. In 2001, for the second release of OS X, the Last Resort font design was revised to include the border text and was re-digitized, and extended by Michael Everson of Evertype, who continues to update it with each new release of Unicode.

Famous quotes containing the words apple, resort and/or font:

    The goldenrod is yellow,
    The corn is turning brown,
    The trees in apple orchards
    With fruit are bending down.
    Helen Hunt Jackson (1830–1885)

    It is the essence of truth that it is never excessive. Why should it exaggerate? There is that which should be destroyed and that which should be simply illuminated and studied. How great is the force of benevolent and searching examination! We must not resort to the flame where only light is required.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    Le corps, l’amour, la mort, ces trois ne font qu’un.
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
