Does anyone know the name of the font used in Woody Allen film credits and titles? What is the name of the font used in Macintosh ads? Are these fonts or clones of these fonts available for PC? ---

Apple has long used a variant of [Garamond](http://www.myfonts.com/FontFamily755.html) (scroll to the bottom to get the whole story) in their advertising. However, a recent trip to [apple.com](http://www.apple.com) revealed [Adobe Myriad](http://www.adobe.com/type/browser/P/P_1706.html) to be in prominent use, which has some people rather [up in arms](http://www.mired.com/mac/mac_04_29_2002.html). Don’t know anything about the Woody Allen movies. ---
