Summary:

Currently, the only font available in system-level UI elements is a variation of Helvetica Neue. This is fine for many basic apps that use Helvetica as their font, but for apps that have highly specialized typography, the ability to change the font in copy/paste popovers, activity sheets, UIAlerts, and even the status bar would be highly welcomed. Not all typographical choices will pair well with Helvetica, and it is preferable to developers and users alike to not have to rebuild that functionality from scratch to get the custom look.
