Oh, I am so sorry! I followed the link in 446713 to 438874. There Will's comment is: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438874#c10
The YaST2 control window itself uses KDE3 fonts, but the only thing you can do with it is open the various YaST applets, all of which ignore the fonts specified by KDE & Gnome.
Could you please respond to Comment #11? There Dirk states that KDE4 exports its font stettings to yast. IIRC this is not true, I will try it myself later on.
I purposely did not respond to that for two reasons: 1-NEEDINFO was and is set to the reporter 2-I don't use KDE4, so don't believe I know enough to properly respond
I doubt OP would have started this thread if the fonts in the YaST2 control panel were his problem, because he already used KControl to set his fonts to 16.
Okay. I did not get this. That is, he actually did not write that in his posting.
I found it implicit in this that he wrote 2009/02/21 00:32 (GMT-0500): "Even though I have set the GTK fonts to use my KDE fonts (16 points) it insists on using the small 8 pt. font. What is Yast's problem?"
Additionally, he is complaining about the font size in yast control center right now (Mon, 23 Feb 2009 00:03:39 -0500).
That's not how I read it: OP: "Doesn't effect the main menu of Yast though, only the applets beneath it." yast control center == main menu of Yast
I find it hard to believe after all these years since the first version of YaST2 that people have to continue suffering this nonsense of YaST2 aka QT not respecting fonts selected by a user in his normal desktop settings application. One place to set X fonts should be plenty.
Well, this would be desirable. But I would have no idea to implement that. Perhaps this is something for openFATE?
I don't expect it would necessarily be easy, but I suppose an important app (like YaST2 or Skype) non-native to the running DTE could on first start read ~/.dmrc or some ENVAR and from that determine what the native DTE is to read and set that DTE's general and/or menu font. Then on next starts it could check if that file has been modified and act accordingly before proceeding. Likely the place to request this is upstream QT - sync fonts to running DTE. Maybe there is a request like this already open? -- "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up." Ephesians 4:29 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
