I think John hit this one pretty well.  If you wonder how you would ever
know this, checkout http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq.html#q4.

You can change the font no problem.  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.

Currently, only sawfish and metacity work well for GNOME 2.  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.
