Basically, I think, there should be a default font, that is used
tmnav-wide every time a font is needed and no font is specified in a
more narrow context.

This font should be accessible through a new method
TMAppearance.getDefaultFont() and should be configurable in
.tmnav/tmnav-defaults.xml just as the font used for popup menues already
is.

If this sounds reasonable, I would be able to implement it in the next
development release which should be published sometimes in the next two
weaks.


If this takes too long for you, and you want to make a quick change by
yourself, I would suggest to call setFont(the
_Font_you_want_to_use)-Method in TMOTouchgraphNode(String, String). This
would set the font of com.touchgraph.graphlayout.Node which is used for
rendering the labels in the TouchgraphRenderer.
 
Is this passable for you?
