The program is written uisng the GTK+ toolkit as reported by ldd.  As
such, I doubt a font is hardcoded as it respects my desktop theme
settings.  You should be able to change the font through the GNOME theme
utility.

Are you using KDE by chance?  If so, do you have the gtk theme plugin
for kcontrol?

On my Debian system where I run the XFCE4 desktop, which is primarily
GTK+ based, the fonts in k3util look just as any other GTK+ app.  Also,
I have switched to using the Droid font as my default.  It is the best
font I've seen.  MS and many other fonts pale by comparison.
