The canvas does let you change the font. Several of the included apps do this,
try to grep the 'apps' directory for pgSetFont. I'd guess what's happening
is that the default font is still the closest match to the specification
you're giving pgNewFont. Make sure the font you're asking for actually exists,
and try using that font elsewhere, like in a label widget, to give you another
way of seeing what font you're actually allocating.

It depends on the font engine. If you're using the BDF engine, you'll have to
edit the .fi files in the server/font directory. Add 'default' to the
STYLE= line on the font you want to be default, make sure it isn't present
in the other .fi files.
If you're using a better font engine like freetype, there are configuration
variables to set the defaults. Check README.configfile for more info.
