Application Font is different on Win98 & Win2000 computers

I have been developing a large application using LabVIEW 6.0.2 on a Win 98
computer that will be used on several Win 2000 computers. I have tried to
use the standard application font as much as possible assuming that it would
be the same on the target computers. However, the application font used on
the Win 2000 computers is not the same and is larger than the application
font on my Win 98 computer. Does anyone know a simple fix to my problem
that doesn't require changing all text to custom fonts (it is a large
application!)?

I believe I found the answer to my own question:

The default LabVIEW Application Font depends on the Display settings on a
user's particular machine. The font used is the same font assigned to the
"Icon" item, as shown in the "Display" properties for the machine. (Go to
Control Panel and choose Display. Then look at the Appearance Tab, and
choose the item "Icon". You'll see which font and font size are being used
for "Icon".)
