Well, thanks to a user here, I was able to get it.  I created this line in
my .Xdefaults file:
	*Font: 8x13
to get a (somewhat) pleasing font... at least it's big enough.  Guess it
wasn't gwm's fault at all.  So now I'm a happy camper.  

One other question out of curiosity- are there other fixed width fonts
available somewhere (anonymous ftp or whatever) that work with X?  For
instance, we have 6x10, 6x12, 8x13, and 9x15 (maybe a couple others), but
they look kinda squat and wide to me.  I'd like something a little
different.  Thanks in advance for all the help.
