I'm sure in the Display Properties dialog, there's an option to set the Windows theme somewhere. It should restore stuff.

Ronny is correct. Goto the desktop and right click and go into properties. If it is only the font that you want to chane - Go to the appearance tab. Click on Adv button. With most of the options on the dropdown you can select the font. Mine has a weird one currently - Trebuchet MS for the toolbars and Tahoma for the menus and icons.
