I don't like the default font. Is there a simple way to change it to a serif font, or will I need to edit the related javascript files?

Llywrch: You'll have to make changes in your personal css, I'm afraid. While I think many people can agree that serif fonts are subjectively "prettier" for display and reading, there are design constraints involved with font selection.

For users who have dyslexia, large text blocks of serif fonts can be extremely difficult to read (they create "gutters" in the text). (There are also issues involving people who have certain forms of macular degeneration where this can occur, too).

Accordingly, for accessibility's sake, we must stick with sans-serif fonts for blocks of text.
