Oliver:

I'm sure that there are better examples, but:

gr1=Show[Graphics[{Circle[{0,0},1]}], PlotLabel -> "This font",
    DefaultFont->$DefaultFont];

gr2=Show[Graphics[{Circle[{0,0},1]}], PlotLabel -> "This font"];

$DefaultFont = {"Helvetica",24.};

Show[gr1]  (*used default Courier font*)
Show[gr2]  (*used default new Helvetica font*)

$DefaultFont={"Courier",10.}; (*restore original*)
