Not to burst your bubble, but there's nothing new or particularly nice about San Francisco. Verdana was available almost 10 years ago, and one of the very very few new nice things in Vista was Segoe UI. Nowadays I'd prefer Roboto (enhancement from Droid), Fira Sans (showcashed in the Firefox OS), Ubuntu (the Ubuntu font, not the distribution itself) and countless others like Open Sans, Source Pro (and that's monospace), Lucida Grande (which Apple seems to be always trying to surpass with little success, including San Francisco) and all of them where designed for pixel and subpixel rendering and 90% of them for extremely small sizes.

And talking about that, at extremely small sizes, most of these fonts look pretty much the same (there's just so much you can do with a little bunch of pixels), so then the differences only show at medium sizes and/or high resolutions, and there San Francisco doesn't really stand out. The only thing I like about it is that, unlike some of the fonts I've mentioned, the numbers are monospaced. But that number 1 looks awful.

Try Segoe UI for 30 minutes. Best thing Microsoft has done since stealing DOS from someone.
