Ah, this is how to change the font!  Thanks!

The difference is that this hack works globally, not only in
org-mode.  So if you use outline-minor-mode, for example,
it will also work there.

Org-mode can modify the ellipsis (currently only with a different
string, not with a different face) using the variable `org-ellipsis'.
However, I do recommend using Tassilo's global solution over an
org-mode specific one.
