Not sure about the back of the iMac G5, but for printed manuals and flyers the font may be Apple Garamond. Apparently it is available (but hidden) in OS X: <http://www.osxfaq.com/dailytips/12-2002/12-02.ws>.

I believe it's a face in the Myriad Pro family. The font used in the text on the Graphics page appears to be Myriad Pro Semibold.

These fonts aren't included with OS X.

Hope this helps....

My bad! This info is valid for 10.2 only. Now the Apple promo font is Myriad; I am not sure if it is the same font as that from Adobe.
