I had to look and see which ones still had a 2/17 date (or in the current case, a 3/9 date) by them. These are the files you have to worry about and change. For me it was one of the Helvetica files not being overwritten by the cab. I took a Helvetica file that had an older date on it, copied it, renamed it to the one I need to replace, and then dropped it in the windows folder. After a soft reset, everything was working. I could be wrong but I think I read somewhere that Tahoma is the system font and Helvetica is the Sense font. I could have that backwards, but I believe that's how it works. That would explain why when I first installed my font, the notification bubbles, the calendar, and the weather on the home tab just to name a few did not change. I hope this helps. If you still have problems, let me know and I'll see if I can help.

I used to be able to change the system font by simple dropping a font file in Windows - as long as I rename it tahoma, because the registry settings are all set to Tahoma, it's easier that way. Adjusting the registry works just longer. I am not worried about Sense's font because it goes to the system fonts when reading and replying email, surfing the web, file exploring etc. The reason why it's an issue for me now is the font I use is a bold font, but if I substite the bold ttf (tahomabd.ttf) with a lighter one it evens out to my liking. The tahomabd.ttf font is not budging for anything
so I will have search for another font. I like the dialer and mms and those are more important than a font I like. It's just one of the things I know people customize. So if anyone wants to customize their system font will just have to do it by registry.
