For GNOME 1, just go to Settings->Preferences, and change the font to one you like better. In GNOME 2, you have to edit your current profile. If you want to change the default font for all users, either edit the gnome-terminal source, or file a bug with bug-buddy. >=20 > Also, are we able to change the WM yet?

There isn't a nice way to switch WMs yet, but there's a workaround at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q7.
