You can choose alternate fonts using the "File->Configure->Fonts" menu. This
works best if you have the "xfontsel" program installed, which lets you
select fonts graphically instead of by name.

Xastir does not recognize the GeoPDF format. You have to convert it
into GeoTIFF. There is a script installed with xastir called
"geopdf2geotiff.pl" that can do this, but it only works if you have GDAL/OGR
libraries and programs installed.
