That is a GNOME theme, however he might have that set only for GNOME apps.

I have to say that I can't figure it out either. He says that he has
used other styles and fonts, so that doesn't seem to be the problem
since if it was a bug in a widget style using a different style would
fix it. I thought that there might be a bug in how bitmapped Helevetica
was being handled but he says that he has tried one of more of his
MS-Windows True Type fonts.

Actually, it probably doesn't matter about the order since I think that
the text is being written to a box that is too small for it.
I don't use text under icons, but I tried it with several DPI settings
and they all worked correctly.
