Changing the font family and size for a winforms app

The default font family and size for Winform apps are just too small (and look so outdated IMHO).

Is there any easy way I could change them for the whole application? I'd prefer not to set them on a control or form basis -just a one time thing, if possible.

WindowsFormsApplication1.Properties.Settings.Default.UserFont = new Font("Arial", 24, FontStyle.Bold);

Short answer : no. But you can workaround this.

Make yourself a BaseForm that is empty and sets it's font to the one you want. Then you need to make every other form to inherits your base one.

You can set the Font property of the forms in your app, and this will change all child controls that have the same font.
