.. also make sure that the fonts that are displayed are the ones you
think.  This bit me once after installing msttcorefonts .. the gtk fonts
I was seeing were not 'verdana' as I _thought_ I had specified but
something else.  I remember installing the unneeded gnome desktop to get
to the bottom of this one.  

IIRC -- what was happening was that for some reason, the gtk apps were
not finding my specified font(s) and falling back to the "something
else".
