I changed the default pgAdmin III's Database Designer's default font, which used to be MS Shell Dlg 2:

I cannot set it back to the default font, namely MS Shell Dlg 2. Why?

I don't see MS Shell Dlg 2 in the list of available fonts:

Typing MS Shell Dlg 2 myself does not work (it doesn't change the font):

Clicking on the "show more fonts" link also does show MS Shell Dlg 2:

According to This article, MS Shell Dlg 2 and Tahoma look to be functionally equivalent:

MS Shell Dlg 2 simply uses the Tahoma font regardless of language. The main advantage of Tahoma over Microsoft Sans Serif is that Tahoma has a native bold font face. Its main disadvantage is that older operating systems might not have it installed, and might substitute a less attractive font.

This would also explain why Tahoma is the option that's selected when you first open the font menu. I tried switching to a different font and then back to Tahoma and it looks the same as MS Shell Dlg 2.
