Can you try other fonts (that you are confident have good definition files) on the file manager and terminal? eg the same one as used in the x-term session?

I believe it is just the contrary. My xterm should be using bitmap
fonts, while the other two use true-type fonts. The true-type fonts
are known to have problem when rendering fonts less than 12~14 size.
People who say their font settings look nice normally have their font
sizes  above 12 or even 14. My xterm font size is only about 8.
