For people's reference, we can change the font displayed on newLister by modifying "/usr/share/contentlister/newLister.rc".

The default BitStream Vera Sans is nice, but it's not enough for multi-lingual text, especially for eastern Asia languages. I have set newLister on my iLiad use some commercial font. It will guarantee that all text dispalyed on nweLister are using the same style of font.

To pick which font to be used, run "fc-list" in console to get the font list installed on your iLiad.

Added:
I thought I should be able to assign font to be used on newLister by modifying "/home/root/.font.config", but I didn't get success in the end.
