I've never noticed until now that in the tb preferences dialog, in
the Display tab, there is an 'Advanced' button next to 'Fonts'.

That Advanced dialog offers to let you select different fonts for
'Western', 'Japanese', 'Chinese', etc.  You might try changing some
of those settings as an experiment.
