According to the user experience docs, it should default to Tahoma
on Win2k and up. Unfortunately, in practice it still defaults to
MS Sans Serif.
Is MS lying here? ;-)
We had changed our font system to default to Tahoma on Win2k and up
recently, but got numerous complaints about not looking like other
apps installed on the system, so we rolled the change back.
One of the things I noticed when I got my PC was that the user could
change a lot of appearance items in Windows XP. This doesn't help the
RB designer unless they choose their own fonts and not rely on the
System fonts set by the user. Very unfriendly from a developers
standpoint.
