I've been meaning to investigate changing the system
defaults in all the /etc/font* stuff, but my brain starts
to hurt when I look at it :-). (And I'm not sure gtk
would pay attention without the deamon anyway).

Some of the stuff in my web page is a bit old. You can control
things now with gconf settings (or is it dconf these days?) you
couldn't control previously, so not all that complication
is required.
