Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the default DF font were just based on the standard Windows console font. In fact, I believe it is.

It is actually standart vga rendering of codepage 437:

Windows console font might or might not be related.

What do you think about return of the Guild Masters combined with Dwarf Foreman/Dwarf Therapist functionality?

With more control like autogrouping dwarves (training group, production group) by skill or number of skilled dwarves(balancing groups sizes) level inside guild , assigning jobs to guild, which will automatically assign to more skilled group OR train group depending on set quality level and - to a certain dwarf, who have preference to such job/item/material, unless this settings was changed, autoassigning workshops to guild/group.

It can be used later as part of AI controlled fortess!

Does this mean that demon diplomats won't come, or that they won't destroy your fort?

Nah, the Windows console (and DF) uses Terminal. Note that the parentheses are more pointy, the "0" has a slash instead of a dot, and things generally look a bit different.

So close to a release...

Toady often posts more details about bug fixes on the tracker.  And yeah, it sounds like you'll still get demon diplomats.

DF doesn't use Terminal. I'm looking at the 640x300 default DF font image and the image at the wikipedia page and they look a fair bit different. DF has more serifs, for one.

So after this release can we expect any more updates to the adventurer stuff in the next release?  Like more crafting/construction stuff?

From the September Bay 12 Games Report:

the idea is to start adding dev page items to adventure mode, probably aiming at the heroic side of things (Threetoe: "the first step toward true heroism is defending country folk from dread monsters and fiendish low lives"), coupled with continued work on dwarf mode bugs.

So I'd say the answer is clearly yes, he intends to work on Adventurer Mode features for the next release.  Sounds like it may be more focused on questing than crafting, if you heed the comment from Threetoe.  I'd guess he's likely to choose something that builds on the site sprawl work from this release, since that's a big piece of infrastructure that many of his plans rely on.  The "fiendish low lives" quote could be taken as a hint about the "villains" dev section; other decent possibilities I can see are adventure sites and maybe tracking.  Guess we'll see soon enough, though.

Possibly (basic) night creatures too, it looks like.

Hurrah! Now we can get ambushed on the road by something other than wolves!

I'd put my money on getting bandits before night creatures.

[Mel_Vixen]

I am too for the bandits.

On the other hand night creatures arent that hard either. You take just a human or whatever and randomise some Bodyparts stick some new ethics and behaviors to it and presto you have night creatures.

Bandits are cool too. Thy are a good source for some gear and may lead to other stuff.

[Rose]

plus, once you become a master anything, all the bandits will have bluemetal armor.
