Allow manual selection of font in program

One nice addition to this would be if we could manually choose what font is used in the program for samples. It seems like it is the system font that is used, which does not work that well if you have manually changed that to one that does not use ClearType, but still other problems keep on using ClearType and/or other fonts (like Firefox). Thanks.
The font is already explicitly specified as "Segoe UI" on all the form inputs, labels, and text samples. If I recall I had to do this because the default of "Microsoft Sans Serif" didn't update its antialiasing properly until the machine was rebooted or something.
Anyway, I don't know what I would change to fix it if something else has replaced the font used by this app.
After I had changed the default system font (using registry hacks) I could no longer see any difference between the alternatives in the preview window. My guess that has to do with the fact that I have replaces Segoe UI with MS Sans Serif (which is not a ClearType font) and that the same font was then used in the preview window and causing this. If I have other programs running, like Firefox, I can see that the changes between Grayscale, RGB etc actuall do work, just not in the preview window. To summarize, I no longer see any changes between RGB and Greyscale in the preview windows but if I have any other programs running at the same time, I can see the changes there.
I've added a button to the upper right corner where you can change the font.
Great, thanks for this and for a great application.
