problem using $\t

check the attached screenshot (left is win7, right is xp). i used the following code for a messagebox:

/shortcuts$\t$\tcreate shortcuts for switches

i enabled/disabled cleartype on both systems, nothing changed. this kinda sucks! of course i can do a OS-based workaround, but that's still only a workaround. plus i can't test all versions/configurations of windows!

the question is: is it's a windows bug or a nsis problem? or maybe it's just the messagebox plugin?

Maybe its the font, Segoe UI vs Tahoma? Either way, its probably not a nsis problem

is there a way to determine the used font? it's probably a better way than just relying on the windows version.
