Hi. The gtk-font-name is a gtk setting - i'm not sure how this is done
in zeroradiant, but we are using:

	/* use default font here (Sans 10 is gtk default) */
	GtkSettings *settings = gtk_settings_get_default();
	gchar *fontname;
	g_object_get(settings, "gtk-font-name", &fontname, (char*) 0);
	g_font = glfont_create(fontname);
	// Fallback
	if (g_font.getPixelHeight() == -1)
		g_font = glfont_create("Sans 10");

This takes the default system font or Sans 10 as fallback - maybe your
default system font is set to something very big.
