Edit the order of the fonts in the xfs config file:
"vi /etc/X11/fs/config"
(it probably has the 75 point first and the 100point second. Reverse
that, and put the 100 point first.).
Then, stop & restart xfs:
"service xfs restart"
Then stop & restart X
(a little trickier).
If you're using kdm/gdm
Select the Restart X Server option from the pull down.
If you're booting to run level 3 (console loging, and running startx by
hand: STOP IT!).. oh.. excuse me.
Just log out to the console, and log back in.
You should now have the revised fonts. It's possible that you MAY have
to re-boot. X generally doesn't like you messing with it's fonts while
it's running...
