Also, if you have a Matrox video card, you can use the "MGA Settings" dialog
to set the default font.  I tried WarpSans and many things looked great! 
Also, many dialogs don't show all of the data (annoying *and* UGLY).  After
months of using WarpSans as a default, I eventually went back to System
Proportional 10.
