Right, but main() sets medium_font according to the -m argument:

      case 'm':        /* Medium font */
        medium_font = g_strdup(optarg);
        break;

m_r_font is then set from medium_font
m_b_font is set from bold_font

As a test, I ran:

ethereal -m lucidasanstypewriter-8

And it worked; Ethereal used the smaller font.

Are you using a font that is listed by 'xlsfonts'.

BTW, is this on Unix or Win32? On Win32 you have to give a X11-style
name for the font.
