The traditional way to set gtk2 fonts used to be: either from within Gnome or by running gnome-settings-daemon. But editing ~/.gtkrc-2.0 is indeed the easiest and most hassle-free way when not using Gnome. To set the default gtk2-font, add something like this: gtk-font-name = "Liberation Sans 11" I also find this one useful: gtk-can-change-accels = 1 It allows you to create a keyboard shortcut by hovering the mouse pointer over a menu item and pressing the desired key or key combination. It works for GTK2 applications, such as the Claws Mail that you're using. These are two more examples I saw somewhere, though I did not try them myself: gtk-theme-name = "AIR" gtk-icon-theme-name = "Tango" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
