changing the menu fonts, etc., in outlook 2007

Hello all,
I changed the font my system uses under the 'display' settings in the
control panel and then changed my font settings within Outlook 2007.
In both cases I changed the font to Verdana, although that shouldn't
matter. That worked fine but i still see the default font visible
under the menu settings for Outlook 2007. Also, the list of folders
visible under my personal folders is also using something other than
Verdana. Is it possible to change those settings as well? Is there a
system wide font setting for outlook beyond your mail and calendar
font settings?

thanks in advance,
michael
