Welcome. Good to hear you liked the project =)

You can add initialization code, perhaps on the create event of the
form, and circle throught all labels changing their font property
acording to the platform. Then you need to choose one font and
font-size for Windows and another for Linux.
You can create a conditional compile to choose the font like this:
{$IFDEF Win32}
Execute code to change the fonts to windows defaults
{$ELSE}
Execute code to change the fonts to Linux defaults
{$ENDIF}
Does anyone know how to access all the components witch are owned by the window?
This way you don´t need to add code for each label. I bet you can
create a loop witch iterates for all components owned by the Windows
and then check if the component is a TLabel. If so change the font.
Something like:
for each component owned by TMyWindows do
if Component is TLabel do
begin
end;
Be carefull that Windows has standard fonts, but on linux you will
need to choose very carefully the font you are using because they are
no so standarized.
I like "Bitstream Vera", but the last time I used it, it showed on my
Mandrake but was not present on the Deam Small Linux I ran the
program. It was not a big deal. Lazarus automatically chooses another
font if the one you set is not present, the only thing is that some
labels were outside the form area.
I think that there is a list of Fonts available on the system on the
Screen object or something similar...
