But that is because fonts in sawfish are not selectable through gnome.
It's a sawfish options.  Check your theme file and just edit the font
name.  

I agree that neither sawfish2 nor gnome2 are finihed.  However, sawfish2
is not even supported by the gnome team.  They switched to metacity --
which I also hate.

I was contempt with the upgrade after I saw the default gnome2 binaries.
