I'm not sure about this. On my Japanese Windows 7, MS Shell Dlg points
to MS UI Gothic, not Meiryo. If I remember correctly, it also points to
legacy Mincho font in Chinese/Korean environment.

I'm afraid that this change also affects dialog base units (e.g.
GetDialogBaseUnits). A lot of application dialogs depend on default font's
dialog units. Though Windows 7 introduces new type faces, we should use
legacy font face in GDI for that reason.

Instead of MS Shell Dlg, how about using "MS Shell Dlg 2" for system
dialog windows?
