The easiest way to change the font is to go to edit->document
properties->preamble   and add '\usepackage{palatino}' (or another
font package). There doesn't seem to be a font package for gulliver
and I'm not sure how you make one. It's probably easier to choose a
similar looking font for which there is a package. palatino might
work.

Also the rasterising is pretty evil. Make them do it properly! I've
sent Elsevier IPE figures and they didn't rasterise them in the past.
