I have reworked this further in various changesets leading up to Isabelle/429426640596. In particular, the Isabelle fonts are now forced on all Java/Swing look-and-feels, by modifying some UIManager font properties. This appears to work reasonably well on Linux GTK+, Windows, Mac OS X, but we need to keep an eye on it for fine points and drop-outs. (For Metal look-and-feel and already worked uniformly before.) The idea is that GUI elements use "Isabelle DejaVu Sans" (not "Mono") wherever feasible. Thus all mathematical symbols and special icons should be always correctly displayed (e.g. in Hypersearch tree view). The regular search dialog now also uses this font: before it was the main text area font (usually the "Mono" version).

Side-remark: this works via "isabelle build_fonts -d dejavu-fonts-ttf-2.37/ttf" The Isabelle/Scala sources of this tool should be obvious, see http://isabelle.in.tum.de/repos/isabelle/file/395c4fb15ea2/src/Pure/Admin/build_fonts.scala In the past, people have occasionally pointed out that the standard Isabelle font is a bit boring. If there are other high-quality fonts to be considered for the Isabelle font portfolio, I am interested to hear about them. Of course, it is also possible to use private Isabelle-derivatives of existing fonts, such as some Apple fonts that are provided with macOS. (These are usually non-free and we cannot ship them by default.) It is generally better to have all special glyphs in a single font where all sizes are carefully fit together, instead of implicit or explicit multi-font assembly in GUI frameworks.
