The Windows system font defaults to Tahoma for Windows 2000 and XP but RB
uses MS Sans Serif.  A real pain since MS Sans Serif is missing a number of
the ISOLatin1 characters.

According to the user experience docs, it should default to Tahoma on Win2k and up. Unfortunately, in practice it still defaults to MS Sans Serif. We had changed our font system to default to Tahoma on Win2k and up recently, but got numerous complaints about not looking like other apps installed on the system, so we rolled the change back.
