I think many X apps simply use the first font 'set' they have
available and presumably it's based on the order you specify
in your config files (unless a 'default' font is set, which in
my experience and testing when I ran into this problem, is in
fact *ignored*).

I did two things that will definitely fix my problem. 1) I
removed/purged xfs (it's only needed if you're 'serving' fonts
to other X users (I think -- someone correct my wording of
that if needed)). 2) Removed the 100dpi font package (and all
references to it in my config files).
