Well, that depends on what kind of desktop/session manager you're using (Gnome, KDE, Fvwm, ...). |
20 |
If it's Gnome or KDE (or I think XFCE), there should be a font manager somewhere in the preferences. |
21 |
If you're using something like Fvwm, you can change the GTK fonts and that will affect all the GTK applications (such as Firefox, Gaim, ...) (for the QT applications, I have to admit I don't know how they pick a default font if you're not under KDE). |
22 |
To change the GTK font, put this as an example in your ~/.gtkrc (or ~/.gtkrc-2.0 depending on the GTK version you're using): |
23 |
|
24 |
style "default" |
25 |
{ |
26 |
fontset = "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal--14-*,-*-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-*" |
27 |
} |
28 |
|
29 |
Where you can of course change the font to suit your needs. |
