Use correct font instead of DEFAULT_GUI_FONT.

DEFAULT_GUI_FONT is a misnomer, not only is it not a default (and never was)
but it shouldn't be used at all. Instead use lfMessageFont from the
NONCLIENTMETRICS structure as it seems to correspond to the font used by
the native controls under 2000, XP and Vista and respects Vista global DPI
setting unlike DEFAULT_GUI_FONT.

Closes #11008.
