I get the message Symbol "Font" is deprecated. I'd be curious to
understand why, but mostly I'd just like to know how to refer to a
font (so I can change font characteristics from my code) and not get
this warning message.

What OS?
What OS bitness?
What font? 
What Lazarus version and bitness?

Win (XP!)

No idea what "bitness" is.

Not important here. Do what wp says: use labelfont instead.

The deprecated entry should really have mentioned that, which in turn
would output in the compiler messages. For some years now FPC supports
messages with the deprecated keyword.

See the "Free Pascal Language Reference" document, Section 1.5 "Hint
directives".
