Very interesting. I have these font-y lines in my .ini file. I take it the 
first is for astronomical data, the second for the RX lists, and the last for 
the rest of the UI. 

Now that I know where I can manually revert things, I'll try a few fonts.

Thanks!

[Astro]
font="Courier,18,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"

[Configuration]
DecodedTextFont="Courier,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"
Font=".Lucida Grande UI,13,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0"
