Now the font size of menus and lists is unbelievably tiny and unreadable in Thunar, Amarok, System Monitor, although it remains sensible in Firefox. Note the resolution of this screenshot - 1280x768. As it turns out it's on a 9 inch screen so it's even more of a joke than it would normally be.

The global fonts set inside 'User Interface' and 'Window Manager seem to have no effect. I don't know what is the system which controls these fonts. Is there a location where font sizes for features apart from just the title bar are set? What can I do as a workaround to persuade XFCE to launch new apps with sensible font sizes?

Throughout this whole boot cycle I've had the .gtkrc-2.0 workaround in place...

cefn@cefn-linux-tablet:~$ more .gtkrc-2.0
style "fonttweak"
{
font_name = "Sans 9"
}

widget_class "*Thunar*View*" style "fonttweak"

...and it's still not behaving itself.
