Hi,

I use gimp2.0pre3 with debian/sid; the menu-font is too small but I cannot find any knob to enlarge it.
Can I get any hint?
Thanks

Peter

i am fairly certain that the gimp gets instructions from the window manager about which font to use in its widgets.

are you having these problems with other gtk2 apps?

To affect fonts in all GTK2 apps, I have the following in my ~/ .gtkrc-2.0 file

style "user-font" {
font_name="century 12"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

Of course, you can change the font to whatever you want.

The preferred way to do this is simply: gtk-font-name = "century 12"
in ~/.gtkrc-2.0.
Note that this will be overridden by an XSettings manager, like gnome-session, so if you're running that you need to change it in the Gnome preferences.

Also, a lot of people have a misconfigured dpi setting for the X server, which you can override with the Xft.dpi XResource (or Gnome preferences, again).

Eric,

thanks for your advice; this made it. 2 additional remarks:

1.the proposal from Manish to write into ~/.gtkrc-2.0 gtk-font-name="century 12"
works only, if it is the only line in the file.

2.a change of the font_name in the /usr/share/gimp/1.3/themes/Default/gtkrc has no effect.

Hi Carol,
I am fairly certain this has nothing to do with the window manager.

the fact that i do not have a problem with the font makes me wonder where the trouble is.

how come i dont have a problem yet this person does?
