Changing Font Size / Style in Gnome - How?
OS : CentOS 5 (final)
Desktop Env : Gnome Version : 2.16.0 Question : How can I change the font face/style and font size of the desktop environment environment? --------------------------------------- Hey, I am technically not new to Linux but relatively new to the GUI. I administer RedHat/CentOS based servers remotely, so I have never used GUI before. Last time I used the GUI was in Ubuntu, just to get the feel of a Debian based OS. Thats it. Now I got CentOS release 5 installed with Gnome as the Desktop Env. Can anyone guide me on how I can change the font face/style and font size of the desktop environment? I'd probably want it to be Verdana and the font-size to be 12-40 - the default style sucks big time from my point of view. Been using Windows Vista for nearly 2 years, so its hard to get used to this type of font ~ I can barely read! PS: I am not talking about the console, I mean the desktop environment itself. |
Well, You could do this by editing a script, that's why I like slackware, doesn't matter, so. Create a new file, .gtkrc-2.0:
For example Code:
style "user-font" { How can one change firefox font size? yeah, actually XUL doesn't obey gtk settings! Again, create another file: Code:
* { check *.default, it depends on the system etc. That's it |
Frankly speaking, I am running as root. So I save it in /root, right? Or are you compulsating me to save it on /home/some-specific-user?
|
Nope, of course you can save it in /root. However, I suggest you create a new user!
|
I just get pissed of with the password promtp, will use root.
This is just my desktop. Nothing serious ~ I use Windows for all other purposes. |
An old problem solved!

I don't use gnome, but I use a few gnome programmes or, better said, programmes written to be run under gnome. I was always really annoyed that the font sizs were too small - your tip has fixed that. Thanks! |
