The only way to modify the default font would be changing the code in 
lib/attributes.c. But even than this is not used "application wide", but 
only for objects not providing there own default.

The whole directory objects/ is full of implmentations of "Programmed 
Objects". If they initialize their defaults with 
attributes_get_background() and attributes_get_foreground() their default 
can be changed with the color selector in the toolbox.

But if you modified the default object specifc by double-clicking that one 
would be used. Delete ~/.dia/defaults.dia to get rid of all objec specific 
defaults.

Like files and directories.
