Segoe UI has been the default Windows font since Vista, and has shipped with Office since Office2007 (so is often found on XP PCs too). The Microsoft logo uses the Segoe font.

I personally prefer Arial as the default.
I like Arial too. It was just that Microsoft chose Segoe for Windows that made me choose it.

Create a form with the desired font and save it to VB's \Template\Forms folder and name it something like "Default.frm". Now you can replace the base form VB gave you with that one (via the selection window) and can select that new default whenever you want to add additional forms to the project. Similar solution for MDI forms: \Template\MDIForms folder.
That's how I do it. And I also save a Project (and Form) into the \Template\Projects folder, so I don't need to replace the base form each time.
But the Menu font remains as MS Sans Serif 8pt.
