Font issue

Fonts in AMC are all wrong - nobody uses MS Sans Serif font anymore because it's ugly, it's less readable than newer fonts like Tahoma and it's a raster type font - because of that it cannot be antialiased (ClearType or plain Windows AA). MS Sans Serif looks especially bad on LCDs - it's horrible! Please switch font to current standard UI font Tahoma!

NT4 and Windows 9x still use MS Sans Serif

(and I have users that have these systems).

But I agree, using default system true type font would be better.
I'll use MS Shell Dlg on Windows 9x and MS Shell Dlg 2 on NT, which is mapped to Tahoma on Windows 2000 & XP by default.
I planned to make that change for the future versions of my programs, but I hope that it will not cause problems when using large fonts (I had problems with that with Delphi 6, but since for version 3.5 of AMC I switched to Delphi 7 it should be OK).

That would be great! Tnx!
