<i>Kare created several fonts for the system, all given names for world-class cities.</i><p>There&#x27;s also a little more to this story, courtesy of Susan Kare herself at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.folklore.org&#x2F;StoryView.py?story=World_Class_Cities.txt" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.folklore.org&#x2F;StoryView.py?story=World_Class_Citi...</a><p>The fonts were named after commuter train stops in Philadelphia until Jobs decided they should be renamed after &quot;world class cities&quot;.

Atari ST&#x27;s TOS had it&#x27;s own mascot, J.R. &quot;Bob&quot; Dobbs, in the high ASCII range of its system font: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;J._R._%22Bob%22_Dobbs" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;J._R._%22Bob%22_Dobbs</a>

I had a ton of fun with Cairo and my dad’s ImageWriter II as a boy.
