hello all,
I use Iceweasel with icewm (no DTE). I've temporarily switched from my
21" monitor to a very small one and the fonts on e.g. the toolbars in
iceweasel are too big. For Konqueror I found some K settings app to
change those fonts. Is there a simple app to install to change them for
Iceweasel? I don't want to have to install a GTK DTE just to change
some settings.

SOLVED: gtk-qt-engine
since I run konqueror and it depends on kcontrol, gtk-qt-engine
allows me to adjust the gtk settings with kcontrol.
And those of us not using Konqueror?
I only use Konsole + K3b of the set.
I installed gtk-qt-engine. How does one get to it? (Is one gotten by it?)
I think you have to install kcontrol to configure gtk-qt-engine. This
will pull in some more packages that are not required by Konsole and
K3b:
kdebase-data | 1083kB | 2724kB
kicker | 2254kB | 7332kB
libfontenc1 | 19.1kB | 86.0kB
libgl1-mesa-glx | 176kB | 590kB
libgl1-mesa-swx11 | 1003kB | 2859kB
libglu1-mesa | 217kB | 553kB
libraw1394-8 | 27.5kB | 77.8kB
libssl0.9.8 | 975kB | 2408kB
libusb-0.1-4 | 21.6kB | 98.3kB
usbutils | 162kB | 532kB
(The first number is the download size and the second one is the install
size.)
You probably have most of the lib* ones already, but installing
kdebase-data and kicker just to configure gtk applications seems a bit
ridiculous to me.
These three lines work for me in ~/.gtkrc-2.0:
style "user-font" { font_name="Bitstream Vera Sans 11" }
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
gtk-font-name="Bitstream Vera Sans 11"
It seems that iceweasel sets its menu font according to gtk-font-name,
but it probably cannot hurt to set all widget classes to the same font
to ensure uniformity. (I tested this with iceweasel 3.0.3-2 and without
gtk-qt-engine being installed.)
