The stock Lucida Grande font that the iTunes widget uses was looking kind of boring to me, so I went in to see if I could find where to change it. Sure enough...
Navigatge to /Library/Widgets, and then open the package contents of the iTunes widget (control-click the widget and choose 'Show Package Contents' from the pop-up) after setting its permissions to Read/Write via the Get Info window. Now open iTunes.css in your favorite pure-text editor. The fragment of code we're looking for is this:
#titleDisplay {
color: #393F21;
font: 11px "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; text-align: center;
position: absolute;
top: 33px;
left: 115px;
width: 128px;
height: 15px;
overflow:hidden;
white-space:nowrap;
text-overflow:ellipsis;
}
Simply change the font entry to whatever font (and size) you'd like. I have mine set to Hei; I love that font.
[robg adds: I would recommend using the 'create a local override version' method described in this hint when modifying widgets -- it just strikes me as a safer way to do things, and you don't need to change any permissions to edit a widget in your user's folder. Keep in mind that if you're using a font with a space in its name, you'll need to enclose its name in quotes (as is presently done in the file).]
