change system font at once

Hi, I would like to change my system font. I want to know if there is a possibility to change all font entries at once instead of going through every section one by one.

Thank you :)

You could just replace the font entry in the font table, keeping the resource ids the same as before. Since the font properties refer to the actual font via the resource id, no change to the properties is needed. This can not be done with msstyleEditor. Use some resource hacker tool instead. I hope the following screenshot helps:

Of course the new font should be chosen such that they approximately match the sizes and style of the old font. Because there is a reason why entry 502 is smaller than 503. Presumably 502 is used for labels etc while 503 might be used for headers and title text. Just an example, inspect your the font properties with msstyleEditor to get a rough idea where they are used.

font or font entry ->the stuff you see in resource hacker. The actual font definition with resource id. font properties -> the FONT properties in msstyleEditor. Those just refer to the font entries.
