The specification of the fonts used by the Gtk+ client have recently been
moved from being hard-coded into a resource file.  I just checked, and it
seems that the font spec for the help dialog was changed at this time from
    -*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*
to
    -*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
.  I don't know why (was there a reason, anyone?).

Also, now anything I try will not change the font!  Help!
