GTK-1.2 fonts madness

PiRaSSiC · 07-17-2004, 06:27 AM

Hi everyone.

I tried for days to change gtk1 font sizes without success.
I tried creating .gtkrc in my home directory and using gtk-theme-switch.

GTK themes DO switch, toolbars and widgests DO change, but fonts remain too little to read.

I really don't know what to do more.
Any suggestions?

Thanx

I had the same problem and found you will need settings similar to this in your /home/user_name/.gtkrc, you may want to read the page in the comments to see the full explanation.

Code:

## Added by me to get larger fonts from gtk1.x apps from info at http://www.linuxcompatible.org/thread27498-1.html. Commented out the include directory as it does not exist on my machine.

style "gtk-default" {
 fontset = "-monotype-times new roman-medium-r-normal--25-*-*-*-p-*-iso10646-1,\-microsoft-georgia-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8559-15,\
  -*-Nimbus Sans L-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-p-*-iso10646-1,\
   -*-clearlyu-medium-r-normal--17-*-*-*-p-*-iso10646-1,\
    -*-r-*-iso10646-1,*"
}
class "GtkWidget" style "gtk-default"




#include "/usr/share/themes/Geramik/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
