Silly Question, maybe

How can I change the default system font? I see no option
for it in the Display Applet. I can change the title
font, message font etc., but no option for the default.

For example, I open a zip file, or browse to a folder.
The filenames appear. I believe the system uses Arial
now, but with Arial, an uppercase I and a lowercase L (I
and l) look like the exact same character.

Thanx
Joe

See this post where one writer recommends using the registry to do this (you
need to join up the link):

I'd definitely back up first in case your system doesn't like it.
