You can change the font for list-box entries by setting the "control
font". This is a little clumsy right now: you have to set the control
font in the list box's parent before crearubg the list box.

Another possibility is to use hierarchical-list%, which is like
list-box% except that each item in the list is a text% (and, of course,
hierarchical-list% supports hierarchical items).
