The font in the dm input/output windows looks to std.19l (or similar for
different node types) This has been made a link and can be changed to
the font you want to use, then just reboot the node. For individual
windows, the dm command "fl" can be used, prior to opening the windows.
I usually place a command in my /sys/node_data/startup_login?* files
"fl std.color" (again this is old and now a link there points to f7x13.b
The command "ls -l /sys/dm/fonts/std*" will give a list of the standard
font links. Any font in the /sys/dm/fonts directory can be loaded with
the "fl" command, but does not change fonts in existing windows. You can
write a simple program to change the fonts in your output pads if you
desire. I once wrote a program which accepted input and changed the
fonts on a line by line basis, saved the pad by doing a "pn" command,
and using "wc -a" before closing, and Then could pop up this Multi-font
window, kind of a Newsletter or MOTD type thing. I'll stop rambling now.

Please feel free to post any corrections or additions if I am confused
or left something important out. :)
