If you look at the docs for the tedinfo structure, you can assign vector
fonts specifically for text objects with in dialogs.  So from my viewpoint
the AES should always use the bog standard rom font as default for text
objects unless the tendinfo structure is set otherwise.

Thus changing the system font should not cause the dialogs to look strange.
