Answer 1

In your ListFieldCallback code you will have a drawListRow() method. Select the font there:

public void drawListRow(ListField list, Graphics g, int index, int y, int w) 
{
    // Set text to draw in textString:

    String textString = ...
    Font smallerFont = FontFamily.forName(FontFamily.FAMILY_SYSTEM).getFont(fontStyle,
        fontSize);
    g.setFont(smallerFont);
    g.drawText(textString, 0, y, DrawStyle.TOP|DrawStyle.LEFT, w);
}
