thank for your answer.
I found the default font on my machine/windows 8 is Segoe UI. I´ll check if it is avalaible under other version of Windows ... your suggestion (looping controls) is interesting, I didn´t know it, but will change all the controls of the form ... and that is not what I need ... I just want to change the Lazarus default. So it will change the font of controls using font.name='Default' in the configuration/object inspector.
