Shoot, I was hoping you wouldn't ask that :-).
    I'm afraid I really don't understand fonts at all (and just found 
out the font above when reading some pyGtk code somewhere a while 
ago). All I know is that the string is a X Logical Font Description 
(XLFD) string. If you are really into reading about what everything 
means in the string, here's a page describing it:

Have fun!
