Printing using X and default font settings

[Ben Ricker <bricker@wellinx.com>]

I have had trouble finding the answer to this one on the web. I support
a web application that utilizes X-Windows to print. Here is, basically,
how it works:

A Java Virtual Machine receives a stream of HTML as a page to print.
Java creates a virtual "window" and then uses a virtual frame buffer
(Xvfb) to "paint" the "window". This image is then sent to CUPS, the
Common Unix Printing Service, as a raster image that is converted to
postscript and then using IPP (Internet Printing Protocol), the print
job is streamed to the printer.

The problem is this: I cannot control the default font size. I have Xfs
(X-Windows Font Server) as the only entry in my font path so that I only
adjust Xfs for font paths, defaults, etc. I have verified that X-Windows
only looks to Xfs for fonts using 'xset -q'. However, when I change the
default font size in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config, the Xfs config file,
the output never changes! Am I missing something here?

I know this a pretty obscure question, but 2 days of fruitless searching
have made me a litle desparate.

Thanks in advance,
