Fonts ok in GTK but not GTK2?


[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
Hi there,

I've recently installed the artwiz fonts and am using them in fluxbox. Last week I changed the fonts for both GTK and GTK2 applications using gtk-theme-switch and gtk-theme-switch2 apps, which worked fine and looked great.

For some reason, GTK2 apps are now not using the new font but GTK ones are still working fine. If I run gtk-theme-switch2, the artwiz fonts are no longer in the font list, but they appear fine elsewhere, i.e. fluxbox theme, gtk-theme-switch, xfontsel.

Has anyone got any ideas as to why they might be there one minute and gone the next????

I have looked in my ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file and it is still pointing at the artwiz font although obviousely not finding it!

Thanks in advance,

Jon

Cool Fixed!!!

If anyone's interested I finally got this problem fixed while messing about with some other fonts. Turned out all I needed to do was (debian):

dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig


:-)
