I used the Options/Fonts menu item to change the font to Courier, save
options, quit and restarted. The splash screen still comes up with
non-Courier fonts, but files I load do come up with Courier.

Even so, I'd still like advice on how to change the font before
deployment instead of having to have every developer have to make this
change locally.
