Your problem then is with the style definition. In my ~/.fluxbox dir,
I have a ~/.fluxbox/styles, and that's where I copied in my preferred
style (TDF). In styles/TDF, it mentions:
toolbar.font: lucidasans-10
menu.title.Font: lucidasans-10
menu.frame.font: lucidasans-10
window.font: lucidasans-10
menuFont: lucidasans-10
titleFont: lucidasans-10
Likely, those are what you need to sort out.
To do all this right, you need to copy stuff into ~/.fluxbox, then
edit ~/.fluxbox/init:
session.styleFile: /home/keeling/.fluxbox/styles/TDF
session.menuFile: /home/keeling/.fluxbox/menu
