Talk:New York (1983 typeface)

New York's Effective Demise
(Noting this for informational purposes.) On Mac OS X without the Classic compatibility environment installed, New York was no longer available by default. (However, New York still came with the Classic environment, so New York was still available with early OS X deployments with installation of the Classic environment, which many people did in order to run their old Classic applications.) The reality is, with the release of OS X, (1) New York was no longer necessary (Times, Times New Roman, Baskerville, and other serif typefaces in a similar enough vein were bundled with OS X) and (2) New York lacked proper italic, bold, and bold-italic forms (bolding and oblique forms were created algorithmically—i.e., "faux-bold" and "faux-italic"), making New York undesirable in comparison to the other serif typefaces with bold and italic forms bundled with OS X. Further, while the availability of New York may have been expected potentially by some applications written for Mac OS 9 and older, with Mac OS X proper, such expectations were no longer an application support/compatibility a concern for Apple. —BrianKrent (talk) 05:52, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
