Using AG_FetchFont() in your program initialization:
AG_Font *font = AG_FetchFont("msyh.ttf", 12, 0);
if (font != NULL)
AG_SetDefaultFont(font);
See http://libagar.org/man3/AG_Text for details. AG_FetchFont() will scan
the "font-path" directories for the ttf file. You'll probably want to
edit the font-path before setting the font:
AG_SetString(agConfig, "font-path", "/path/to/fontdir");

Yes, Agar recognizes and displays UTF8 characters by default. The
AG_Textbox and AG_Editable widgets can edit UTF8 encoded strings
using AG_TextboxBindUTF8() / AG_EditableBindUTF8().
