It said in the update notice, some unacceptable symbols were discovered in this font… check this out, isn’t it just incredible? ---

What is? to say that an ancient Indian symbol is unacceptable or to include it on the font? Btw, have you notice David’s star? ---

It’s some tribe thing or something… Isn’t that what they said. As Phat7 said, "it’s only a symbol”… But then if my whole family was gathered up like cattle and taken away to be gased, I wouldn’t wanna see it. But then if the media had left it alone know one would have known about it, and I doubt anyone would use it in a document. ---

The evil musical note key! Mdipi - were you going to blame MS for that or tell us all to switch to OS X/10.2/Panther? 😃 ---

this is one thing I don’t particulary blame M$ for. as you can see from the other characters in the font, the font is derived from Asia. In some Asian religions, the swastika has a religious meaning, and therefore is perfectly reasonable to have in a font. M$ just didn’t check the font well enough before releasing it in the US and Europe. ---

By incredible, i meant they issue an update for that, ok, it has a very bad conotation now, but originally, the swastika is just the opposite: [http://www.luckymojo.com/swastika.html](http://www.luckymojo.com/swastika.html) … and it’s really just a font, noone has to use it, and you might use it in another context and be glad to be able to access that symbol in a font… And why should Mac Office come with different fonts? Have you checked…? ---
