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

@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.

Comment by Cookielord Fri, 9th january

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.
