I also had this problem of the gnome-control-center screwing with the
font sizes; that is one of the reasons why I never open it anymore.
So, what is the difference between your setup and mine? Maybe it is a
setting in ~/.gtkrc-2.0. Here is what I have (I had gtk2-engines-gtk-qt
installed at one point):
# This file was written by KDE
# You can edit it in the KDE control center, under "GTK Styles and Fonts"
include "/usr/share/themes/Qt/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
style "user-font"
{
font_name="Bitstream Vera Sans 11"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
gtk-theme-name="Qt"
gtk-font-name="Bitstream Vera Sans 11"
# ~/.gtkrc-2.0 ends above this line
Maybe it is something in the general X setup. Do you run a font server?
I use xfs and have it listed as the first FontPath in my xorg.conf.
