Andre,
Thanks for responding.
If I set the dpi to 75, then it'll effect X as a whole, meaning all my applications in graphical mode will be set this way.
When I was first starting out, that's what I used and I quickly realized that with my 17'' LCD, 100dpi was a better solution.
On the other hand, some did mention that the fonts in graphical themes are builtin. They just seem to be too big for my taste.
