Dialog is no real font, but a symbolic name that is automatically mapped to fonts available on your machine. This is a feature of the Java platform, not something we created for yEd. In practice, the Java platform actually "merges" several fonts for Dialog to cover as many glyphs/characters as possible.  See The Java Tutorials -> Working with Text APIs -> Physical and Logical Fonts -> Font Configuration Files for detailed information on how these mappings are specified

On Windows, it's usually 'Arial'.
