Can anyone suggest how to set the Gtk font?

If you do it once with gnome-control-center, you can then find the files in ~/.gconf where these settings get housed by gcc, and make further changes manually if you like.

Thanks for that. Sadly, I don't have any of Gnome installed. Is there any way without having to install more software?

install the rpm I have: control-center2-2.4.0-82.i586.rpm

I've installed it and it works - but only for a single login. Logging out and back in requires be to reset the font. I assume that this is because gnome-settings-daemon or whatever it now is needs to be running. Is there any way to set the Gtk font without this daemon? I'm sure I managed it in the past...

You should have a file in your home directory called .gtk_qt_engine_rc. At the end of it, drop in: style "user-font" { font_name="Sans Serif 12" } widget_class "*" style "user-font" It works here. It might well just work with only the line: gtk-font-name="Sans Serif 12". You can change Sans Serif 12 to what you prefer. You will need to repeat the process every time you change your KDE theme stuff, though, as it will overwrite this file from the KDE control center. :) Fish
