TEdit is a native Windows control, and by default Windows will choose
the adequate font. The font differs between different Windows
versions. The default font under XP is Tahoma, as explained here:

TLabel is not a native control. It is drawn by LCL, so LCL chooses the
font by default. I don't know which font LCL uses by default for
TLabel.
