in lisp/sawfish/gtk/widgets/font.lj the following is substituted:

  ;; FIXME: this is broken, in that only if Xrender is present
  ;; does gdk use Xft. But, it's the best I can do..
  (define use-xft (let ((x (getenv "GDK_USE_XFT")))
              (or (not x) (/= (string->number x) 0))))

  ;; defined by configure
  (define have-pango-xft (eq 'yes 'yes))

  (define default-font (if use-xft "Sans" "fixed"))
