There is a file ~/.Xdefaults. It is read when X11 launches. The X  
resources from this file (and others for this purpose) configure the  
look of X clients.

You know what X11 is? You are working on some BSD or Linux system?  
Here the command xlsfonts lists all available fonts for the  
configuration active. 'xset -q' shows the font path and other details  
of your X11 configuration. ~/.xinitrc is probably the file that sets  
up this configuration.
