An even-more-modernized and expanded version of Geneva 9, one of Apple's system fonts in Macintosh System 1.
Full list of changes:
• Removed extra space after lowercase y
• Redrew & so its height matches that of capital letters
• Re-redrew # symbol (more condensed)
• Made ' and " vertical positions consistent
• Alternate glyphs for Greek alphabet ΔΩμ that fit better with text (math symbol versions of all 3 characters are unchanged)
• Added even more Unicode characters, including Greek and Cyrillic alphabets
• Checked accuracy of font in emulated MacPaint; added characters (e.g. integrals) that were in original font but not Geneva 9.1
• The accented and unaccented lowercase a's were in fact different in the original font, but I made them both double-story here for consistency

Amazing font, dude. Great job ! I searched this since 2018 when i descovered Macintosh.js and i got this. Nice :)
Can you add ĉ, ĝ, ĥ, ĵ, ŝ, ŭ for those who learn esperanto, Please ?
Just added a bunch of characters including Esperanto
Add Russian please
Please add Russian.
@ssazonova482 he'll only put it if the og macintosh font has it
@ssazonova482 Just added Cyrillic. I don't know Russian (or any other language that uses the script) so I hope I didn't mess up the letter designs too badly. Слава Україні!
@Techstar01, no, Cyrillic glyphs look fine although I can’t comment on their authenticity as to the original Geneva. There’s just one bug from what I can see – lowercase й lacks its breve.
Thanks, fixed. The original Geneva from Classic Mac OS had no Cyrillic because it only covered the 8-bit Mac OS Roman character set, and the current version of Geneva still only has embedded bitmaps for those basic characters, so what I ended up doing was I pulled up Geneva in GIMP, pasted in the Cyrillic alphabet, and tried to approximate the design while maintaining continuity with the existing characters.
