You might also want to take a look at this site:
http://www.microsoft.com/winlogo/software/tech_req.mspx
Read the requirements a software product must meet in order to get the "Designed for Windows XP" Logo. The "Designed for Windows XP" Application Specification contains the details on developing compatible products and the requirements for getting the Logo on your product
The document it contains is a really long and specifies document with everything you want to know, including the icons size and color depth…
Enjoy.

Hi
A quick google search did turn up some books that might be of interest. For example Microsoft Windows User Experience and The Windows Interface Guidelines for Software Design: An Application Design Guide although this one is a bit more outdated.
However, if your main concern are fonts and sizes then my personal opinion is that you should leave this down to the settings that the user has applied and ensure that all of your controls are using the default Windows settings. That way, what the user wants, the user gets, and that's probably the most important part of software development.
