Sudden change of font settings!?

EDIT:  Original problem with orage and other fonts fixed.  My current problem relates to Chromium and certain other type in apps like Thunar.  Here's a shot of that.  The huge fonts are what I want to bring down to my system standard (bitstream vera sans size 8-10)

ED:  Now I'm pissed, my openbox menu font has changed to that ugly, big type ><

Have you made any changes to your .fonts.conf:

Also maybe tweak your DPI:

Re: Sudden change of font settings!?

Alright, I did find an issue.  When orage got tiny, I checked my gtk font options, and the problem was defined there.  Font size was set to 6 or something.  I'm forcing 96 dpi via argument to .xinitrc.  And no, didn't change my fonts.conf.  Just installed Thunderbird .. so maybe something in that package overwrites font settings?
