No, need, the default is true. And the old "you have to exit blackbox
to edit your rc file" philosophy does not hold with Openbox. Edit it
and hit reconfigure. Easy as that.

A font cannot be specified without a size.
*xft.size: 10
or something like that, and then things should start working out
better for you.

Take a look at the styles shipped with Openbox for examples.
