Indeed.

Huh? You mean you're being censored from the site?

(edit) Ah, I just noticed you're from China. Hmm, well, I can mirror the pictures of the font faces.

Motter Tektura (starting mid-70s)



Apple Garamond (starting 1984)

Also, roughly when was the old one used? I'm having trouble remembering it... I remember an old serif font, as used on old Power Mac & iMac posters (I think), but not an old sans-serif one.
Well, the old serif font, Apple Garamond, was used between 1984 and 2002.

The old sans-serif font, Motter Tektura (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_t...otter_Tektura), was used before that. Late 70s, early 80s.
