- Mac OS X uses something called Unicode, which allows over 65,000 characters, which means the Mac can now set type in alphabets such as Japanese, Arabic, or Chinese. But in Mac OS X applications that use Unicode, such as TextEdit, fonts like Zapf Dingbats and Webdings do not appear correctly. In fact, they don’t appear.
- Once upon a time, in Mac, you could show the keyboard viewer, select a font, and the keyboard graphic would show characters or glyphs, say, Zapf dingbats, in the keyboard graphic. Adding shift would chow additional characters. That appears to be gone in Mavericks.

Humans read an average of 300 words per minute and type an average of 40 words per minute. That means we spend a damn lot of time staring at fonts. Our eyes glide smoothly over the curves of a sans serif; they stop short at bold, boxy text. We have strong feelings toward certain typefaces, developing aversions to Comic Sans and allegiances to Helvetica.

Hermann Zapf, who died on Thursday at age 96, was a master of this world. He designed about 200 typefaces in various alphabets, most famously Palatino, Optima, Zapfino, Melior, Aldus and Zapf Dingbats.

Ah, Zapf Dingbats, which used extra pen flourishes and ornaments from the creation of another font, Zapfino. We never did know what you were saying, Zapf Dingbats, but we loved you anyway. (At the time, index characters were usually just black hands, but Zapfino used women's hands as pointers. Zapf was ahead of his time.)
Typefaces are often brushed off as unimportant, but they are a fulcrum of modern communications. Zapf, who passed away at his home in Darmstadt, Germany, has a legacy that will last through our reading and writing. His “breakthrough font,” Palatino, released 67 years ago, is used in Abercrombie & Fitch’s corporate logo. Optima is the font that graces the Sept. 11 memorial in New York City and the front of your Estée Lauder makeup. ITC Zapf Chancery Medium Italic is part of all Mac computers for a very simple reason: Steve Jobs liked it. It was the only calligraphy-inspired font Jobs chose to be part of the operating system.
Zapf was born on Nov. 8, 1918, in Nuremberg, Germany. Since an early age, he tinkered with using secret languages to communicate with his brother; he consumed books voraciously in school; he taught calligraphy to himself as a teen. He designed his first font at age 20.
During WWII, Zapf was called to serve in the German army, but wasn’t used to hard labor, as he wrote in an autobiography. His hand was used to holding a brush, not a rifle. Zapf developed heart problems and had trouble discerning his left hand from right, so he was sent to be a cartographer for the troops instead, drawing secret maps of Spain.
After the war, Zapf delved into typesetting with computers — known as phototypesetting — but his ideas were ridiculed in Germany and viewed as too radical. In the 1960s, he moved to United States, eventually to return to Darmstadt. Upon moving back to Germany, Zapf became a professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology, flying between upstate New York and his home. Several of Zapf’s students at RIT would go on to create the Lucida typeface.
Zapf continued teaching at Stanford University, among other places. A short film about his life, The Art of Hermann Zapf, was produced by Hallmark in 1967. (“It was a painful experience,” Zapf wrote of filming it. “I swore never to burn my fingers as a pseudo Hollywood production manager again, but to stay with my humble pen and design alphabets.”)
Zapf is survived by his wife, Gudrun Zapf von Hesse, who is also a type designer, and three granddaughters.
Zapf's 2007 book, The World of Alphabets, reads: 'The letter Z is the most neglected character in the English language.'
