    This is a question on how and where fonts are loaded/used.

    I am running FC2, with Openbox for the display manager. It works very
    well except whenever I load an application, such as Evolution or other
    X-Windows application, all the fonts that are not specifically set by
    the application - such as menus, button descriptions etc, appear in very
    small font - I'd say about size=7. This is true for all applications,
    including Gnome and KDE apps. I can understand why the fonts appear
    different for Gnome and KDE apps, because the display manager is not
    Gnome or KDE, but what about other X-Windows apps? I suspect there is a
    "default" or "system" font being loaded above the OS but below the
    display manger, such as when X is loaded, but I cannot find any config
    file to modify to change the size to say 10 or 12 rather than what
    appears to be 7. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks!
