New York font

Did Apple remove the system font "New YorK"? I opened up an older document in Pages and received a warning that I had a missing font - New York. Sure enough...I looked around and it was no longer on my computer. I changed the font to Times but was just curious about where New York went.

New York disappeared long ago with Mac OS Classic.

All the original fonts that had city names such as Monaco, Cairo and New York etc were bitmap fonts, that is they were just dots on the screen, they didn't have outlines. Although I can't quite remember whether Apple belatedly made TrueType versions of these.

You shouldn't miss them just use something similar.

Hello,

Im looking for Newyork font. I've tried version 2.4.2 of openoffice but it hasn't got it. I've tried myfonts.com as well and the version there won't unzip? maybe a corrupt file? Does anyone know of any where else i can get it?

cheers

Where in OpenOffice can I find those fonts? I looked into the package of version 3, and didn't find them.

It's really happy because Apple states:

It's not the TrueType outlines in Monaco that matter, but the layout logic in the font file itself.

Yvan,

You are not reading the post, which referred to the original fonts.

The subject was and still is as far as I am concerned the New York font.

Thanks so much. LOL....apparently I have not missed New York since I'm a long time Mac user too. I appreciate the info.
