The second line above is setting your font to a huge 14pt. The forth
line is resetting it to a slightly less huge 13pt.
I'd suggest removing the last two lines and setting the font through
customize, where you can see the results as you set it.
Apparently your Red Hat installation must be getting your monitor dpi
wrong if it is not displaying 14 and 13pt fonts at a large size.
