Too small fonts in GTK applications (XMMS, Winetools) in KDE

Hi,

I am running Debian with KDE. Unfortunatelly some of the applications (XMMS, Winetools) have got veeery small fonts.

I tried:

Code:

apt-get install gtk2-engines-gtk-qt

After that I am able to change fornts and themes for different GTK applications from KDE Control Center. It works perfectly for Firefox or Mplayer. It has created

Code:

$ cat .gtkrc-2.0

# This file was written by KDE

# You can edit it in the KDE control center, under "GTK Styles and Fonts"



include "/usr/share/themes/Smooth-Line/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"



style "user-font"

{

        font_name="Nimbus Sans L 10"

}

widget_class "*" style "user-font"



gtk-theme-name="Smooth-Line"

gtk-font-name="Nimbus Sans L 10"

$

unfortunatelly it completely does not work for applications: XMMS and WINETOOLS. The fonts in them are still so small. It is definetelly matter of GTK. How to make them larger?

All the best;

I have just found out something that do the trick.

I needed just:

Code:

apt-get install xfonts-base-transcoded xfonts-100dpi-transcoded xfonts-75dpi-transcoded

and after restarting Xwindows everyting was just fine with the xmms and winetools fonts.

All the best :)

xmms too small to use

Code:

[root@nightowl ~] # dnf install xfonts-base-transcoded xfonts-100dpi-transcoded xfonts-75dpi-transcoded

I'm running Fedora 22. What do I do to make xmms fonts appear reasonably larger?

Options > Doublesize causes xmms to show 1/2 of its screen. Not good.
