Hello, Hossein,
Note that RadGridView is a very complex control which contains a lot of inner elements. The default themes provide identical font for all cells, popups and dialogs that RadGridView shows. However, if you need to change the default font for the entire grid it can't be accomplished by simply setting a single property of RadGridView.
In order to customize the font for the cells it is necessary to handle the CellFormatting/ViewCellFormatting event. Note that due to the UI virtualization in RadGridView, cell elements are created only for currently visible cells and are being reused during operations like scrolling, filtering, grouping and so on. In order to prevent applying the formatting to other columns' cell elements (because of the cell reuse), all customization should be reset for the rest of the cell elements. Additional information is available in the following help article: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/gridview/cells/formatting-cells
If you need to change the font for the filter operators popup, you have to handle the ContextMenuOpening event and change the font for the drop down. For all other similar popups, it is necessary to handle the relevant event and set the Font property for the dialog.
Last, but not least, have in mind that creating a font is a heavy operation and the CellFormatting/ViewCellFormatting event is fired a lot of times. Make sure that you create the font just once and store it into a variable which can be reused instead of creating the font each time the event is fired.
Off topic, note that most of the forum threads are reviewed by Telerik representatives and sometimes we address the questions asked by our customers in the forums as well. However, a post in the forum doesn't guarantee you a response from the Telerik support team. Moreover, threads are handled according to license and time of posting, so if it is an urgent problem, we suggest you use a support ticket, which would be handled before a forum thread.
