I find the gnome-settings-daemon is more trouble than it's worth, as then it starts screwing with your mouse settings, etc. Getting fonts to match up between the two desktops is hard enough without bringing all the other settings into the equation. Why not try this: Control Center -> Appearance & Themes -> Colors in the Control Center and enable the checkbox "Apply colors to non-KDE applications". Then append the text: # # Added by Taff to control gtk apps font-size without the # f$%^king gnome-settings-daemon... # style "defaultfont" { font_name = "Nimbus Sans L 8" } widget_class "*" style "defaultfont" # End Taff to the file /home/$USER/.kde/share/config/gtkrc Save the file, then change the permissions so it is _not_ writable by anyone (read-only). This is needed because kde will try to overwrite it at each login. This will set the default font for all gtk2 apps (not sure about gtk1 apps). Regards, Mark
I have some gtk apps that are refusing (in SuSE 9.1) to use the configured fonts. I'm using the KDE 3.2 that comes with 9.1, and have configured KDE and Gnome to use the same fonts using their respective tools. However, when I run Firefox (from 9.1 or my previous gtk2+xft version) or GnuCash (gtk1 only), they do not use the specified fonts for their interface. However, other gtk apps (e.g. Gaim) *are* using the correct fonts.
Does anyone know what's going on here?
