What determines the font used to display the text on gadgets?

For example, if I type in this code:

StartButton = CreateButton("Start", 100, 0, 100, 40, window)

what determines the font used to write the word "Start"?

Can it be changed? Is it dependent on the OS?

Will it ever change?

Thanks for clearing that up. Now what font (and size) is the standard font used if no font is loaded?

Whatever the user has set in their Windows settings?

Microsoft Sans Serif 8?

Regular K

Trebuchet MS 10 or Tahoma 8

Check by right-clicking your desktop clicking Properties then clicking on the Appearance tab at the top and searching through there.

9pt Segoe UI is default now I think?

These can all be identified from the current theme file.

Later Windows versions have severely restricted access to changing some of the settings individually.
