AFAIK, while pan has font prefs for the various window/pane data areas, it still uses gtk defaults for the "chrome", including menu, toolbar and statusbar text and the header-display area text at the top of the body pane. I've occasionally wondered to myself whether that would ever change, given that I'm a kde person in general and don't have any GUI setup to set the gtk font defaults, and given that pretty much everything /else/ is configurable in pan now, but it hasn't yet. So I guess you'd set it however you set your gtk (2 or 3 depending on what your pan binary was built against) prefs. As mentioned, here I don't have a gtk settings GUI (tho kde has a preference in its color settings that applies /those/ to gtk, at least gtk2, apps, I don't have gtk3 installed either so I've no idea if it works with that), so to change fonts for my gtk2 apps (pan, claws-mail, firefox), I have to edit the gtkrc files directly, which means I have to google for the information to do so every time I do, which means I don't bother unless things get REALLY bad (like the invisible tooltips I had for awhile, I run a "reverse" color-scheme and kde was setting either text-color or tip-balloon color but not both, resulting in invisible tooltip text since the color assumptions on the other one were wrong due to my "reverse" color scheme). As an alternative, click that area to shrink the display to a single line so it doesn't take so much room, and read basically the same information in the header pane, where they're part of the data area and thus configurable, and/or toggle full-header display in the body pane (H by default, IIRC), tho in my experience the latter is more header info than I want/need, most of the time, so I generally use the former (tho unless I haven't washed my contacts in awhile, I can generally read the header- area display in the body pane just fine). > (Also, had a panic this morning; Pan would not fetch new headers. > Turned out somehow Pan had made itself 'offline'...) I believe there's a default hotkey for that, L, maybe? That's what it is here, but I've changed enough of my hotkeys from the default that I've no idea whether it's the default or not. You should be able to see it in the menu or on the shortcuts tab in preferences, however. My guess is that you inadvertently hit that hotkey, toggling pan offline, without even knowing it. People do that with some of the other hotkeys too, sometimes. (Quote-muting, I believe via "q", is one I've seen inquiries about from time to time.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
