I don't use either KDE or gnome; I keep trying other WMs but always come
back to icewm in the end. I do of course use suitable fonts for all
those apps that work via xterm but the problem is with the others.
However, I had a helpful suggestion from someone on alt.os.slackware,
viz to do startx -- -dpi 110 (or whatever). Should have thought of this
myself, I suppose...
