Recomended font

[Cassio]

Is there a default recomended font to use in buttons on a window form so it looks like other Windows applications?

Thanks.

It should be the one that is set as default.

Do you think it would be weird if I made it bold?

I may be wrong (I havent attempted this with .NET) but when you use a system font and the user has selected to change the style, (Theme/Scheme) his prefered font should take over. I dont know how Bold would affect this. OR, I may be wrong about the entire thing.
You can try it though.

If you want t give your app a look more like Windows XP, you can follow the design guides Microsoft has about using fonts and colors.
I have the file, but its 5.1 Mb, so if anyone is interested in having this please mail me at battousai@prodigy.net.mx

iebidan: Can you provide a link to Microsofts site where one can download it?

The problem is I dont remember from where I got this file... the only thing I can do is send it thru mail (due size).
