![]() Update: I found some more information on the Microsoft Sans Serif/MS Sans Serif font in use in Windows. ![]() (Please, please Microsoft, just the single UI font would be nice.) This “bug” has been reported on the Vista/Longhorn newsgroups, some hopefully we’ll see this change in upcoming builds of Vista. In some places however, you will see text controls wrapping because the newer fonts may be spread out a little more, but these are few. Reboot and you will see the new font in use where it should be. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutesĬhange the values for “MS Shell Dlg 2” and “MS Shell Dlg” to “Tahoma” or “Segoe UI” depending on what platform you are on. Well if you’re picky like me and just want to see the same font across all UI elements, you can get most of the way there with a couple of registry edits. It still haunts us in various locations in Windows Vista as of build 5456 for which the new UI font is Segoe UI. I think it was also the same teams that then forgot to change the font in various dialogs in Windows XP. (There’s a whole team for the Display properties applet right?). Unfortunately, not every team involved in developing Windows got the memo detailing this change. When Microsoft released Windows 2000, the new default UI font was changed to Tahoma from Microsoft Sans Serif.
