Another one of Susan Kare's contributions to the Macintosh, Cairo was the first ever dingbat font to be released for the platform. It was only released as an 18-point bitmap and was removed in System 7.5.[1]. Cairo is best known for introducing the—now legendary—dogcow. Clark Riley recreated a Postscript Type 1 version of this typeface in 1992, which was converted to TrueType in 1994.[2]
