That works on our own computers of course, but we can't mandate it to
customers. I understand OP's desire to have some messages stand out more.
We have a similar paradigm and wrote our own message box for "alerts" that
was much larger and had more information available. It would be nice to
have a more pumped up message box paradigm built in.

...that uses the parent window's font.

Screen are so large nowadays that message boxes look small.

Set your display DPI settings to a higher value. The Windows default of
96dpi is not good for high resolution screens.

In WinXP its Control Panel->Display->Settings->Advanced Settings
In Vista : Personalization->Adjust font size
In Win7 you can type DPI in the Start menu and choose the item
"Make text and other items larger or smaller"

That will help all applications and not only those where you
manually change message box fonts.
