changing the default font in windows

Question

I know it can be done, I changed the default fonts before, but I cannot for the life of me remember how. I'm not talking about changing just some of them, but I want to change the default font for everything (icons on the desktop, tops of webpages, etc) Can anyone remind me how to do this??

chaseshane,

Go to Start|Control Panel|Display|Appearance tab. Click the "Advanced" button and on the dialog that open select the items you want to change and select the font and size you want from the drop down menus.

I've done that, but there is way to change the font so that the same font shows up on every website and everything too. Does that make sense? For instance, where it says 'file, edit, view' etc at the top of every webpage would be changed, and the font for instant messenger lists would be changed.

In Netscape you'd change that using Edit>preferences, on next screen click Appearance>font I presume other browsers have similar capabilities. Ron
