Just browsing the olwm man page...

     olwm.TitleFont
          Font used in title bars above the windows.  Default  is
          Lucida-Sans Bold.
 
     olwm.IconFont
          Font used in icons.  Default is Lucida-Sans.
 
     olwm.MenuTitleFont
          Font used in the title (first line) of menus.   Default
          is lucidasans-bold-12.

     olwm.MenuButtonFont
          Font used for individual entries in menus.  Default  is
          lucidasans-12.

     olwm.GlyphFont
          Glyph font used for drawing OPEN  LOOK  graphics.   You
          probably don't want to change this.
