From Vista's HELP File -> Search FONTS

Change Windows fonts

You can change the font in any part of Windows (for example, menus). Changing a Windows font does not change your program fonts.

Click to open Appearance Settings.

Click Advanced.

In the Item list, click the part of Windows where you want to change the font. For example, if you want to change the menu font, click Menu in the list.

In the Font list, click the font you want to use.

In the Size list, click the font size that you want.

In the Color list, click the font color you want.

Repeat steps 3 through 6 for each part of Windows where you want to change the font, its size, and its color, and then click OK.
