[arch] Font problems and openbox

[Richard Gananathan]

So I decided to switch to openbox the other day, from xfce because I
think I might like openbox. I should note that this is a different
installation. Some stuff happened, and well I just decided to
reinstall. I think that might be why I have font problems.

However, I have a few problems. The first, and the worst is that fonts
look terrible in seamonkey and firefox. I uploaded a screenshot to
show you how they look.

A little xterm sneaked into the image, but you can see that the fonts
there aren't as bad.

It seems like there are serfi'd monospace'd fonts.

I remember having problems with having similar fonts on xfce, but it
only happened when I had a Japanese locale, en_US.utf8 was fine.

So where are all the fonts and stored for use with X and how would I
select the fonts for GTK applications like seamonkey.

The only thing that bugs me about the openbox transition is that I
cannot use alt-f2 to run a program. What are program runner programs?
So I could make a keyboard shortcut so that alt-f2 runs a program that
runs a program. (sounds a little weird, but basically I need a packman
package for a program that I can use to run another program in X,
running things with xterm is a bit of a pain.)
