Description

This font appears in a Java app incorporating a number of "Look and Feel" (Java Swing, I believe) options. Given this from System default (Windows) Look and Feel, I'd've thought it one fairly commonly used in the OS. It looks a lot like "Arial", for example, but it doesn't nearly match Arial or anything else I can find via Text Tool in the GIMP. May it be that's a problem with the way the GIMP displays text/fonts, or might it be that the Java app has proprietary fonts in such cases? Found a few looking near enough, but none with "Th" at the same height. Any help much appreciated.

Suggested Font: Segoe UI (Windows system font)

Thanks @JohnnyC, I do love the rounded style. However, I believe, in the example I used, it would've fairly certainly been a Windows system font and most likely Segoe UI - possibly Semi-Bold. There's a few versions of it out there. The one I've linked to matches the relative heights of "Th" more closely than some other examples I've checked out. It occurs to me now that using the "Clear Type Tuner" (more than once) will have affected the on-screen appearance of certain fonts. That might explain why it didn't match anything via the GIMP's Text tool.
