it appears that DEF_INFO_TEXT_FONT is only mentioned in wconfig.h and wconfig.h.in :p 
dust in the wind my friend. 

if you wish to change the WMBoldSystemFont you will have to edit/set the BoldSystemFont property 
in ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMGLOBAL (edit this file while you're not using Window Maker)

or you can edit that line you found in the code and set your own font 
WMCreateFont(scr->wmscreen, "Trebuchet MS,Luxi Sans:pixelsize=12");
