Hi Liam
I found your tip very interesting, because I have the same problem with
big fonts in, for example, xmms and gnome-commander. Following your
advice, and the example of Benjamí, I created the file .gtkrc with the
following content:
style "user-font" {
fontset = "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
and put it in my home directory. But nothing happens... the big fonts
continue there... So, should I put the .gtkrc file in another place?
Thanks in advance!
