[Paraview] Changing GUI Font

Changing the default font for X in paraview/GUI/Client/vtkPVApplication.cxx 
-> vtkPVApplication::Start from

   -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-67-iso8859-1

to, for example,

   -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-18-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1

makes the ParaView GUI much easier to read. Only a few menus and panes have 
to be stretched to show all the options. FYI, the font for Windows is also 
set in that same routine.

Is this the best way to change the font? I couldn't find mention of X or 
Tcl/Tk defaults files.
