Fonts

To improve visual interest and hierarchy, Windows XP uses some new typefaces and a variety of type sizes. To better support our Microsoft brand, we've introduced Franklin Gothic into the Windows XP user interface.

	Franklin Gothic is used only for text over 14 point. Franklin Gothic is often used for headers, and should never be used for body text.
	Tahoma is used as the system's default font. Tahoma should be used at 8, 9 or 11 point sizes.
	Verdana is used only for title bars of tear-off/floating palettes- Verdana Bold, 8 point.
	Trebuchet MS is used only for the title bars of windows- Trebuchet MS Bold, 10 point.
