To some extent. For programs like xpdf that use standard X resources for various aspects of their display style, you can add something like *fontList: your_favorite_font to your .Xdefaults/.Xresources file. I don't know if Tk or acroread respect this, though. You might also try wm-specific settings. -- Michael A.
