Fonts
Use the default system font. Do not use font styles such as bold and italic. Accessibility requirements require that you honor the user's choice of system fonts.
Exception: In Wizard97-style wizards, use fonts and styles as shown in the following table. Except where specified, do not use font styles (bold, italic, and so on) in wizard text. Unless used sparingly, font styles inhibit readability, especially for the visually impaired.
