Why would Apple reuse their own San Francisco font name? There are plenty of other world class cities.

Good point. When Apple announced the iPad, I thought they should reuse the iBook name.

Not other world class cities that happen to be the nearest to Apple HQ. shrug

The Wikipedia article seems to imply that the previous San Francisco font hasn't shipped since System 7, which came out in 1991. I think it has been long enough that there shouldn't be any confusion.
