I'm not sure why your having such an issue. I use the gnome-settings-daemon to control GTK2 fonts while in KDE and all of my fonts..Gnome2 or KDE look just absolutely kickass. I would think it's a setting somewhere that has been fubared. Give this screenshot a look. You'll see that I have Gaim and Mozilla-Firebird (GTK2 apps) running within KDE. My desktop fonts are just as good as Kmail and Konqueror are. So at least in my case I know that it's possible. I've also replaced every Gnome2 package that came with 8.2 with the usr-local-bin packages or at least all that James has built.
Well, I don't know either, but others have had the same issue :-) You have a predominantly Gnome desktop, using KDE apps, where mine is the other way around. Maybe KDE fits more nicely into Gnome than Gnome does into KDE (ie accepts its settings rather than trying to impose its own) but as I said, that suggests the Gnome coders have missed something somewhere. It's not a particularly big deal, since all it makes me do is look for a KDE app in preference to a Gnome app, where one exists. I should say that fonts on web-pages in Moz, for instance, are OK - it's the screen furniture that is the problem, which suggests to me that there is indeed some setting that is incorrect, as you say. But I haven't gone and purposely broken a setting, so either Gnome has, or it hasn't set something it should have (or checked that it is set). It doesn't inspire me that it disregards its own gconf settings (eg desktop-background) when these are manually changed .... -- Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - Meddalwedd Rydd yn Gymraeg
