Here's my understanding:
SetGadgetFont requires a GuiFont, except for the canvas (which is really a graphical item) which uses ImageFont. The ways to load these two are different: LoadImageFont wants the filename (where the file needs to be renamed to the Windows name of the font if it isn't already) while LoadGuiFont just wants the Windows font name without the ".ttf". LoadGuiFont only works if the font is loaded in Windows (i.e. shows up in Windows' font list), while LoadImageFont can load the .ttf whether it's loaded in Windows or not.
Copy Arial.ttf to the same folder as this example for LoadImageFont to work:
