Extremely frustrated. Spent many hours on this already. The other thread explained a new TFT-LCD monitor was installed. Much higher resolution. Some configuring but everything is fine except I have teeny unreadable fonts in Gimp, GQView,Firefox, etc.
Yes, this is an absolute PITB.
Hi Kevin, thanks for replying. Here in the US it is an absolute PITA !
I am guessing that this is the replacement for the old gnomecc program.
No, it's an applet that tries to reconcile the Qt and GTK themes. Have you looked in K | Applications? That's where it is with me. I think it is only in the most recent versions of KDE that it appears in KControl.
Afraid I don't know where K|Applications is. I have found an app called QT Settings by accident, then changed fonts, theme etc. but nothing happened. I am running 9.2 64 bit with KDE 3.4
I have this in my ~/.gtkrc-2.0: include "/opt/gnome/share/themes/Mist/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" style "user-font" { font_name="Sans Serif 10"
.................<snip some>...........
Fonts are OK on both GTK1 and GTK2 apps, but GTK1 apps have the old Motif style widgets (very ugly), while GTK2 apps have the nice Mist style.
You might try fiddling around with ~/.gtkrc and ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and see what happens.
I don't have a .gtkrc or .gtkrc-2.0 in my home directory. I did a locate on gtkrc and came up with at least 50 of them. Checked everyone of them with no results. I then started to go into the individual apps and made changes with no effect. In Firefox and NVU I went in and added the userchrome.css. Course I may not be editing that properly. I have 5 apps, all with the same problem, Firefox, NVU, GQView, Gimp, and IglooFTP-Pro. Can't use any of them without straining my eyes to read the menus. I have googled this list without any solution. Guess I need to try again. I really don't understand this. You'd think by now there would be a simple solution. Just wish that one of the Guru's on this list would reply with a fix. If you have any other ideas I would sure love to hear them. Thanks again, Bob S.
