It feels so embarassing when I solve my own problems. I end up with a bit of spam on the mailinglists.
I found out the culprit, it seems that gsfonts is an xfce dependancy, and that is what made the fonts pretty. So I installed gsfonts and everything seems fine. But openbox users can still reply, I need to find a application launcher, basically when it executes, it has a little box where you can type a command and if that command is in your path it will execute, like gnome and xfce's alt-f2.
