From the biting-the-hand-that-feeds-me dept.: Please use postfix quoting format: your reply goes below the material cited. Trim your quotes appropriately and ensure your attributions are accurate. Thanks ;-) That's pretty close to what I ended up doing. I (mostly) cloned the /etc/gtk/gtkrc.iso-8859-15 file to ~/.gtkrc: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ style "gtk-default-iso-8859-15" { fontset = "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1,\ -*-arial-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1,\ -*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15,\ -*-arial-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15,*-r-*" } class "GtkWidget" style "gtk-default-iso-8859-15" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ...which gets most things straight. pan's fonts are still large (but I don't use it much). Galeon, mozilla, and gabber are all kopacetic, which is what counts. Peace. -- Karsten M. Self <kmself@ix.netcom.com> http://kmself.home.netcom.com/ What Part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
