Use an INI editor like UNIMAINT to open OS2.INI (USER Ini) and go to the 
Application PM_SystemFonts.

Or, in REGEDIT2, go to "My Computer" (makes ya wanta puke, doesn't it?), 
then to HINI_USER_PROFILE and from there drill down to PM_SystemFonts.

DefaultFont---"10.System Proportional" is the standard one, and the only 
font that you are sure of seeing *all* dialogs sized correctly for. (If you
change this, you may lose some of the text on dialogs; that's a warning.) 
Type in "9.WarpSans Bold", close it up, reboot and you're in business.

Be very careful with your typing. It has Zero tolerance for typo errors, 
and you have to get both the . and the <space> for it to work properly. 
Otherwise, you may lost *all* dialogs until you get it straight. Better 
have a backup of both your INIs (\OS2\OS2.INI and \OS2\SYSTEM.INI) just in 
case.

Good luck,

Buddy
