Bookshelf symbol 7

Bookshelf Symbol 7 is a symbol font in the Bookshelf Symbol series that comes standard with Microsoft Office .

The font gained media attention when it became apparent shortly after the release of Microsoft Office 2003 that the font contained the swastika , among other things . Microsoft then apologized for the incident and offered a patch that removes the font from the computer. A second patch was released later, which removes the questionable symbols but otherwise keeps the font intact.
