GUI: Arial
Corporate identity
-Manual; Avenir
-Live logo and box: Avenir (customized, i.e. 'l' has a little foot and lowercase 'a' is different, 'e' seems to be tweaked a bit as well)
-Ableton logo: V.A.G. or Helvetica rounded

I find it's not exactly like arial,
maybe halfway between arial and lucida grande. Lucida italics are slanted too sharply. But I can see a few little things about arial that don't seem quite right, like an arial lowercase t has a sharp point at the top.
The ableton font files can be found in the program folders, but they are in .fnt format so you would need to conver them and from what I've read that would degrade the quality.
