Why something Asian is now tucked away in Apple Braille
Can you explain what you mean by that? When I look at any of the Apple Braille fonts in Font Book > Repertoire I do not see anything other than Braille characters.

Oct 14, 2015 11:49 AM in response to Tom Geweckeby Kurt Lang,Hi Tom,
Yes, even AppleSDGothicNeo made no sense to use for the Keyboard Viewer in Yosemite (for English users, anyway). I just meant why bother to change it yet again? Back in Lion, these were the only fonts you needed in the System folder:
Apple Color Emoji.ttf
AppleGothic.ttf
Courier.dfont
Geneva.dfont
Helvetica.dfont
HelveticaNeue.dfont
HelveticaNeueDeskUI.ttc
Keyboard.ttf
LastResort.ttf
LucidaGrande.ttc
MarkerFelt.ttc
Menlo.ttc
Monaco.dfont
Symbol.ttf
Times.dfont
The Keyboard Viewer displayed just fine without AppleSDGothicNeo, which Apple made the change to in Mountain Lion. That I recall, AppleGothic is also mainly for Korean text. So why the change to AppleSDGothicNeo, and change yet again to ArialHB in El Capitan?
I imagine there's a reason for it in there somewhere. No idea what Apple's decisions for that would be, though.

Oct 14, 2015 11:55 AM in response to Kurt Langby Tom Gewecke,It certainly is strange. It would surprise me if either of those fonts contained all the characters which keyboard viewer needs to display for all the latin keyboard layouts supplied with OS X. I presume something else gets used for non-latin scripts....
