How do I change Application Font in Fedora 20

Hello, everyone!

I have some applications for which I want the change the font style. I want them to present the text in a different font style and different font size. I have installed gnome-tweak-tool and it only allows me to change the font size of the interface (of OS) and not the "inside" of the applications.

Please do provide me a solution, I'll be thankful to you.

Thanks.

What you're asking isn't really possible. If you want a different font for a specific application, you need to change the font WITHIN that application, if you even can. Some won't do custom fonts.

I'm not very familiar with Gnome, but from what I remember, you can change system fonts (menus, dialog boxes, etc.), which WILL affect all your applications. I know you can do that under KDE, but again, those are system-wide changes. It's up to each application as to whether they can have custom fonts or not.

there is a handy tool for gnome
"system config editor"
or by a name like that

do a yum search for "system" and / or "gnome" and you should find it

i puts all the individual program config files in ONE gui for easy use

I could compromise my complete GNOME's font for just one font. If there is no way I can set a specific font for a specific application, then how about I change the font of COMPLETE interface to use just one specific font-style.

In this way, in my opinion, it should display ALL THE TEXT I'd see in that specific font.

Is there any way I can do that?

& Sorry for the late-reply. Thanks!

Sorry! I didn't get to find this package. Can you please be more specific? Thanks!
