So, I'm not seeing what you're seeing -- for me, when I do the HowToGeek registry font-change (with Verdana now), Thunderbird continues to use Segoe UI.

So I'm wondering if perhaps the Thunderbird user-visible change was from some other customization that you made?  (Maybe you could retry the registry change but with a different font [just as an experiment]), and see if Thunderbird picks up the new font that you choose?

It would also help if you could attach a screenshot of how thunderbird  looks, maybe e.g. showing Tools|Settings to avoid showing your email inbox :) and to pick up a substantial amount of UI to see what fonts are being used where.

So, I'm not seeing what you're seeing -- for me, when I do the HowToGeek registry font-change (with Verdana now), Thunderbird continues to use Segoe UI as its font in menus, tab titles, preferences page, etc.
