What is the name of the font on the Scratch blocks?

Thanks in advance.

The squeak definition of the font 'label' in ScratchFrameMorph is VerdanaBoldNarrowSpace. I have no clue what that translates to in normal fonts. Probably Verdana that's bolded and has the text spacing set to narrow.

Re: What is the name of the font on the Scratch blocks?

Actually, while I update the French translation of Scratch, I found out a field allowing to change this font. I suppose it is made to allow using a language specific font, but it works with any font (but lot won't be readable...).

So the default seems to be Verdana (on Windows, "Win-Font") or Helvetica (on Mac,  "Mac-Font") or Sans (on Linux, "Linux-Font"), but it can be whatever you want. :-)
