Communicator 2007 Client Fonts

The default font for the Instant Messaging Area is 9pt MS Shell dlg. On my
workstation (Vista Business 32bit), the descenders are cut off unless I
increase the font size to 10pt. The message also appears without descenders
on the recepients IM client provided that they are also using Communicator
2007. Does anyone how to: a) fix that problem, or b)change the default font
size?
