Apple Font

Does anyone know what the default apple font is? E.g. The font they use by default in OS X, and in all their presentations?

Many thanks,



Tom

The font used on Apple products such as iPods and the word iMac on the back of such a computer is "Myriad Pro". There are many variations of Myriad Pro, but I believe the type used by Apple is Myriad Pro SemiBold

here's a test of the font:
__________________
iMac CD 1.83/1.5/160/APE/10.5
PowerBook G4 1.33/2.0/160/APE/10.4+10.5
iBook G3 700/384/20/AP/10.3
Digital Rebel XT

Adobe - Myriad Pro Semibold

No, you probably won't find a "Pro" font for free anywhere.
