[SOLVED] Font is changing in Xorg

Hello all,
I have a problem about fonts. In console, the config I did while installation progress works perfectly and I have no problem.
When I start X, with openbox as wm, my keyboard becomes english and I cannot change it on terminal too;

setfont lat5-16
Couldn't get a file descriptor referring to the console

How can i solve this ?

My settings;

/etc/locale.conf
LANG=en_US.UTF8

/etc/vconsole.conf 
KEYMAP=trq
FONT=lat5-16

Re: [SOLVED] Font is changing in Xorg

For the font either install and use lxappearance or write the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file manually with this line (with an example font):

gtk-font-name="DejaVu Sans 8"

For the keymap use:

localectl set-keymap <map>

See man localectl

Thanks for the reply;
I installed lxappearance and run it but no font config about this problem. Font tab has antialiasing, hinting, sub-pixel geometry options only.
When I run localectl set-keymap, nothing changes;

localectl set-keymap tr_q-latin5

The font selection is made on the "Widget" tab under the "Default font" section (bottom right).

I got the `localectl` command wrong, it should be:

localectl set-X11-keymap

You will have to log out and then back in again for this to take effect.
