Does anyone know
A) the default font and size of (1) the Ribbon itself and (2) the tool tip text that appears when you hover over a button ? The defaults on the IG ribbon do not seem the same as Word / Excel 2007
B) The size of the "large" and "small" icons used in the office Ribbons ? For the large icons, 32 seems to big, and I think that 28 seems about right.
Is there any document describing the standards ?
MS Ribbon is part of the Fluent User Interface which requires a (free) license.
The standards are available

Thanks Greg, but perhaps I am blind. I can't see anywhere that it mentions the font family or size for the ribbon or screentips
Sorry.

You should need to register and accept the NDA.
See items 14 and 15 for the ribbon.
