   For dialogs where the author didn't specify a font, change (or add)   
   "PM_SystemFonts->WindowText" in os2.ini, then reboot.   
      
   A nice font that displays well is the version of Alex Taylor's   
   Workplace Sans that includes bitmapped characters for commonly   
   used point sizes.  I have both my window text and menu text set   
   to "11.Workplace Sans" which is very readable compared to the   
   9pt varieties.
