Yuck! I certainly understand why you don't like that font!
Compare to this one:
ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/incoming/city-dialog2.png
that's what the same font looks like for me...

Hmm... I'm not sure how it is right now, is it the first or the last
font path listed that gets used? I have 100dpi first...

Ok... I don't know why it doesn't work to change
.../share/freeciv/freeciv.rc but it did work to put a new definition in
~/freeciv.rc

Try putting
style "city_label"
{
    font = "-b&h-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
}

in that file and see what happens...
