[help] Fonts don`t change though MS Shell Dlg is changed

Hi,

yesterday I changed the Ms Shell Dlg 1&2 and after the restart the right font (Lucida Grande) appeared. After a new start this morning the fonts changed back to the windows fonts but the registy values are still set to Lucida Grande. I use Flyakite, does it have any influence concerning the fonts ? How can I change the font to Lucida Grande forever ???

A quote from MSDN:

MS Shell Dlg

MS Shell Dlg is a mapping mechanism that enables U.S. English Windows to support locales that have characters that are not contained in code page 1252. It is not a font but a face name for a nonexistent font. It can be specified in either the Setup file during the installation process or when customizing a local system by double-clicking Control Panel's Regional Options icon. When you double-click the icon, click the Set default ... button in the General sheet of the Regional Options dialog box. Select the appropriate locale in the Select System Locale dialog box and click OK, then restart the system. The appropriate change occurs in the following registry key:

Well so how can I change the settings under "Regional Settings" as I don`t really see an option to change the default language in xp. It is also weird that whenever I change the ms shell dlg nothing happens anymore though before I had a totally different look, well at least as long as i didn`t restart my pc. So how can I cange the font to look close like in os x ???

Thanx

OK i found the perfect example for how i want my os to look like. Take flyakite (which is installed) and give it the font of ilife06. That`d be perfect. Anyone who knows how to do that ???
