since the latest RC2 version object text can now have a specific font in the display object text action part. Before lua was needed to change it temporarily. But it now should work as mentioned above.

super old method:
game:setValue(VGameObjectFont,"Fonts[myfontname]")
i recommend setting it back after your displayed the text (it gets not affected by that, only if you use display object text again for that object.)
