I received an e-mail suggesting that I use Rob's font guide
http://egads.ertius.org/~rob/font_guide.txt
which I had referred to previously, but I've gone through it again.  My
XF86-Config-4 now includes this:

Section "Files"
        FontPath     "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
        FontPath        "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/CID"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
EndSection

I've restarted the X-server.  The GTK applications font has changed to
something slightly less offensive but still too big.  How can I fix
this -- can I just manually set the GTK app font somehow?
