Arial 9, regular (the default font for VFP objects) looks so close to MS Sans Serif that most people won't notice the difference. MS is currently moving to Tahoma 8. Current guidelines state, "The Tahoma 8 point font offers improved readability and globalization support; in Windows 2000, it is the default font used by most of the interface elements in the operating system."
