I created a fork of this with real characters in place of words like "omega", "integral", "approximately equal", etc. Only the word "Apple" remains since AFAIK that logo doesn't render in Windows without a special font.

Update: I also made the control shortcuts work a little better (e.g. ctrl-a in Chrome wouldn't select an entire [readonly] page's contents). I added support for ctrl-y (Redo).
