GTK 1.x Font


I always have those huge and ugly fonts when using GTK 1.x applications (e.g. VLC or MPlayer)

I tried to edit ~/.gtkrc, I also tried to install gtk-theme-switch, but that didn't fix it...

Any idea?

I had the opposite problem perhaps going through the web page I have in my file will enable you to get a solution.

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 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"
