Yeah, of course. In KDE, fonts are configured via Kontrol center.
In Gnome/Sawfish, I spent about 5 minutes looking for a place to
configure fonts globally, and gave up.
My rule of thumb is if I can't figure it out in 5 minutes, I won't
be able to explain it in a short e-mail. Hence the advice to switch
to KDE.
