//messages tells me that it couldn't find this specific font when trying to

//So, I checked the /etc/X11/blackbox/Blackbox-config file and in the
//titleFont and menuFont sections it calls for the font listed in my first
//paragraph above:
//
//titleFont: -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*
//menuFont:  -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*
