As I understand it Taliesin is the name of Frank Llyod Wright's estate in
New England.  The font in question has many symbols that are conceivably useful
for architectural layout drawings.  I believe that the font first shipped with
MacDraw.  The story goes that Mr. Wright's estate
was not pleased at the use of the name and asked Apple to change it.  Why
Mobile was chosen as the new name I don't know.

None of the above is necessarily correct.  None of the above is the
official position of Apple Computer.
