What a bunch of geniuses. :)

I had a look through the registry aswell. I set the messagebox font to the Tolkien font - which isn't used anywhere else - and then did a search in the registry for Tolkien and it didn't find anything for dialogues. That was probably very newbie of me, lol...

But thanks to everyone - especially NetMaestro - for the solutions!

You're most welcome. If it weren't for Sparkie I wouldn't know much. The registry key has the font name stored in unicode format, with each letter taking up two bytes so a search on the fontname would have turned up nothing.
