Choosing font in Gnome, gtk applications: how ?

Choosing font in Gnome, gtk applications: how ?

Post by Dinh-Tuan Pha » Thu, 29 Oct 1998 04:00:00



        Hi all,
        I just dowload gmc and all the gnome stuff needed to have a
try. The first thing I want to do is to change the font but I can't
find a way to do this. There is no app-default file, no preference
file and the option -fn xxx dosen't work. The same is true for gimp.
        So how do one choose the font, the color, tghe geometry, ...
in gmc, gimp and all other gtk-gnome base applications ?
        Just hoping that we are not going down the "windows" road
which treat the user as idiot and hard-wire preconfigure every
things.
        Cheers.
