To be honest I do not know how to change the font. It may indeed depend
on your local font settings.

I know how to print the text bold (by embedding the text in <b>...</b>
in Print.*_Pango in gfx.cpp) but I'm not sure whether it's a good idea
to do this (I could restrict other possible formatting styles this
way?).

If you have a patch for this it would be nice.

But do you really consider the current font so bad? It is a little bit
different from the original one, right, but it was necessary to change
this to get support for 8bit characters for translations.
