Well, now the wrong font name is in your preferences file. We don't have 
implemented a way to fix this "on the fly" and don't want to have some 
"magical font change" on the fly.

You may select a font from the font dialog (Lucida Console 10pt) or 
remove the preferences file completely to remove that problem.

Yes, and I meant it's a far better idea to let the GTK people know, that 
a lot of others don't like their new dialog, so they get to know they 
have to improve their dialog even further.

As I personal would like to drop GTK1 support for win32 in the near 
future for several reasons, as I would think the GTK2 version is stable 
and looks way better. If you are interested, see: 
http://wiki.ethereal.com/Development_2fDropWin32GTK1 why.

However, others might disagree on this.
