change the uifont line of mame.ini from default to ui.bdf and delete ui.bdc file if you have one in the directory
MAME will create a new ui.bdc (it's a cached version of the font file) and the UI should use the new font

I'm pretty sure there is also an option for uifont in MAMEUI, but I'm on a Mac so I cannot run it to find where it is...


p.s. the font can go wherever you like: just update the fontpath accordingly
