No, that's not it, I was using Sans 17 or something like that. A font I
definitely had.

Certainly:
===========================================
# DO NOT EDIT! This file will be overwritten by LXAppearance.
# Any customization should be done in ~/.gtkrc-2.0.mine instead.
gtk-theme-name="Simple-Green"
gtk-icon-theme-name="hicolor"
gtk-font-name="Sans 17"
gtk-cursor-theme-size=0
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH
gtk-toolbar-icon-size=GTK_ICON_SIZE_LARGE_TOOLBAR
gtk-button-images=1
gtk-menu-images=1
gtk-enable-event-sounds=1
gtk-enable-input-feedback-sounds=1
gtk-xft-antialias=1
gtk-xft-hinting=1
gtk-xft-hintstyle="hintslight"
gtk-xft-rgba="rgb"
include "/home/slitt/.gtkrc-2.0.mine"
===========================================
The preceding works perfectly. Sad thing is, I'm almost positive I did
the "gtk-font-name="Sans 17"" thing manually earlier, and it didn't
affect Thunar or xchat.
