Question is: Where and what do I do to have the settings maintained between reboots? It is probably some init file at boot but which one and what do I put in there?
Hi Bob,
Would you be willing to do a brief experiment?
Love to! That is what it is all about for me.
Create or edit the file ~/.gtkrc-2.0 Put in a line like this: gtk-font-name = "Adobe Helvetica 12"
Use a typeface and size that you *know* is installed on your system. You can find an appropriate candidate in KDE Control Center under the fonts installer module. Be sure to enter the name in .gtkrc-2.0 *exactly* as it appears in Control Center.
OK Did Exactly as you specified.
Can you please confirm that this solution "sticks" between boots? This is the third time I've seen such a thread.
Nope, sorry !! Just doesn't "stick". Just need to knock down X and restart. Still have to bring up the Gnome-Contro;-Center to start the daemon. Don't even have to change anything, just open it and close it. Maybe this should be a requested feature ??
I'm sure this procedure worked for me and has worked for others. It's supposed to make autoloading Gnome Control Center unnecessary when you're running KDE... It would be nice to have an 'in situ' real life confirmation that it still works.
Wish I could have confirmed it. Even tried a couple of different installed fonts. Sorry. Bob S.
