The name is Tahoma. It is designed to cram as much information as possible in 
an alert (for errors etc.). Don't use it, it is a Microsoft font and Microsoft 
has coupled distribution with the installation of MS Office.

About 2 years ago, some amateurs in some committee had to design a new 
corporate look & feel for a certain university. They had such a lack of 
understanding of copyright that they decided to go with Tahoma anyway. When 
Linux and Mac users complained they rcommended to 'download it somewhere'. 
Obviously when the question reached the legal experts it became clear that 
could never become an official policy. This particular university had an 
ergonomy group that has won prices for stuff like airport and railway station 
signs, so in the end they asked an expert to redo everything. Tahoma didn't 
return :-)
