I wonder what the default font for the stack is? I know new fields will 
"inherit" the font of the stack. Perhaps dialogs do too. When I look at one of 
my stacks, the stack font is, "System Font Regular". If the font for the stack 
was set to a font that only exists on the MacOS, Windows will attempt to 
substitute for a near match, which usually does not end well.
