Roger,
CARE: lower case L and upper case i are he same in Arial.
However, here is one way
- find the default style sheet in C:\Program Files\Wolfram
Research\Mathematica\4.1\SystemFiles\FrontEnd\StyleSheets
- save a copy of it (tile OldDefault for example)
- open it
- find the section FormatType Styles
- in this select the cell Prototype for the style "InputForm"
- menu > Format>Show Expression
- in the result, change FontFamily->"Courier" to FontFamily->"Arial"
- menu > Format>Show Expression
Repeat last block for the cells
Prototype for the style "OutputForm"
Prototype for the style "StandardForm"
This will leave TraditionalForm using Times.
- menu>Format>Edit Style Sheet >click Edit Shared Style Sheet
