#1 Details of default font

as ubuntu uses utf8, the font defaults for gtk1.2 come from
/etc/gtk/gtkrc.utf-8

style "default-text" {
       fontset = "-*-arial-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1,\
                  -*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*"
}

arial is not installed by default, so gtk reverts to the helvetica font.
plugging in the same attributs into xfontsel we get (see attached image)
