It would have been fun if they'd used the original Mac "San Francisco" font instead: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_(1984_typeface) http://en.wikipe

      I always make sure I have LA or portland/seattle picked, that "cupertino" thing annoys me for some reason.

  Oh the original names where a lot better. I guess less memorable, but still more unique.

  They also missed out on calling it Sans Francisco.

    Or, more canonically, Francisco Sans.
