I have a question…what is the main font iLounge uses on their graphics…it looks to be the same as the font Apple uses on their graphics too. Can anyone tell me the name and where to get it?

Are these images allowed to be posted/uploaded to other locations? Not for commercial or contest use, just for personal use. (Like deviantART or forums outside of iLounge)
