On OSX it's Lucida Grande and on XP it's Tahoma according to my last
visit to the MSD.

The Windows system font defaults to Tahoma for Windows 2000 and XP but RB uses MS Sans Serif. A real pain since MS Sans Serif is missing a number of
the ISOLatin1 characters.

A couple of years ago, MS said a similar thing as MS Sans Serif *was* the default font for 2000 and XP. It seems to have changed since then. It's hard to imagine it in 2000 though. Maybe in a service pack for that OS.

Perhaps a Feature Request to get RS up to date is in order here. :)
