Which font a Chinese OS uses for dialogs - quirk or normal behaviour?

I've recently tried one of my applications under an English Windows 7
installation set to use Chinese as the display language and noticed
that one dialog (a property page invoked as a context menu shell
extension) displays using what appears to be a fixed pitch font -
which is what I see other OS dialogs use. However, other dialogs in my
application (also invoked from the shell extension) display with the
default Segoe system font.

All the dialogs font settings are defined the same in the resource
file:
FONT 8, "MS Shell Dlg", 0, 0, 0x0
I don't understand why they display with different fonts.
Is this behaviour normal for English UIs on Chinese OS installations,
if so, what causes it?
