If you don't like Segoe UI as your global font in Windows

I know that there are many who, like me, prefer serifed fonts and find them easier to read. That Windows has never provided a theme or other way to ditch Segoe UI everywhere in favor of a serifed font has always amazed me.

I just wanted to make those who might want to "go serifed" aware that between WinAero Tweaker and the Sitka font family, you can do this while keeping everything either close to the same size as the Segoe UI stuff is, or making it larger. I prefer slightly larger.

Here's how I set up the specific fonts using WinAero Tweaker:

Icons Font: Sitka Display Semibold 11

Menus Font: Sitka Display 12

Message Font: Gadugi Regular 12 (for some reason I find that sans serif is preferable to me for message boxes)

Statusbar Font: Sitka Text 11

System Font: NOT CHANGED, use system default

Window Title Bars: Sitka Text 12
