Font Sizes - Windowmaker


I'm experiencing a problem with font sizes with Windowmaker 0.80. I haven't seen this problem on my laptop or other desktop (that run the same version of WM and my laptop runs the same OS, installed with the same media as the problem computer), which adds to the confusion. This is on Slackware 10.

The font sizes in applications show up ridiculously huge. Windowmaker menus/prompts themselves don't appear to be affected. Things like Gaim, The Gimp, xsane and EOG use giant fonts in the menus, displays and dialogs.

I searched through the Windowmaker configuration files to no avail. I don't see anything about fonts relating to things other than WM menus in there, although maybe I'm missing something?

Ideas?

Anyone?

Here, I have made a screen shot to show what is going on. It was taken at 100% zoom in AbiWord and you can see that the window decorations are "normal" size.

I tried changing the order of the fonts in /etc/X11/xorg.conf so that 75dpi came first and then so that 100dpi came first.
Other window mangers do not display this font size issue.
