I then paste the string, which happens to be the -*-times-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-* into my xpdf incantation xpdf -font -*-times-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-* and I get the chosen font for the interface elements. You can alternatively set the X resource xpdf*fontList using the method described http://xwinman.org/resource.php (basically add to ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources the line xpdf*fontList: -*-times-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-* and restart X [?
