Yeah the README is waaaay out of date. I keep meaning to update
it. Same with the sample rc file.

It would seem the rc file is loaded after the screens are created and
the font is cached in each screen. So I can see why the font doesn't
change. I'll rearrange things so setting the font works.

I don't know why that happens. Have you tried putting a 

(write-string "loading rc!")

in your rc file to see if it's even being loaded?
