You don't need to. Unless you specify a char format, the variable
automatically assumes the default pgf font. The only time you need to
explicitly assign <Default P Font> is to turn off a previously invoked
char format, as in a variable definition like this: 

<BoldOnly>DOLL<Default P Font>CAR 

And in that case, I'd try the <Default P Font> alias that works in
dialog boxes: <\> 

HTH!
