There seems to be a bug in XFree86 that causes it to use a scaled font
in place of the fixed-size font in certain cases. (I think it's a bug
because I would get the fixed-size font for a while, and then for no
obvious reason I'd start getting the scaled font in new windows I
created.) I've taken to putting the following lines in my .xsession:
if ($hosttype == inbsd) then
xset -fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/ >& /dev/null
xset -fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 >& /dev/null
xset -fp /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/ >& /dev/null
xset -fp /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 >& /dev/null
endif
