Fonts in GTK+ 2.0 apps acting wierd in Fluxbox

I'm using Fluxbox, but it seems like there is no rhyme or reason to the size of the fonts in GTK+ 2.0 apps (ex. gaim, gedit). Sometimes normal size, sometimes very small Particularly, they seem to get small when I power on the computer without turning on the monitor first. then seem to remain that way for a few boot-ups before changing, seemingly for no reason, back to normal. I thought that because of the monitor issue, I would check the XF86Config-4 file, but there is only entry for the monitor. And, I used drakconf to manually select my monitor and then rebooted, and the problem persists. Does anyone have any other ideas on how I can get the fonts to stay one size?

Does this happen in the other WM's?

Yeah. In GNOME2 they seem to work just fine. Do you mean other non-GNOME WMs?

Do you think you can take a screen shot of what you're talking about. I can't really think of anything off the top of my head except to check the files section in your XF86Config file. It should look something similar to this:

RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"

FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"

Also perhaps you need to compile Fluxbox with gnome support.
