thechitowncubs Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 For ubuntu System>Preferences>Font Edit: Just looked at your screenshot, that is GTK1 so I'm not exactly sure, IIRC you can't change them.

Deanobear Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 To fix the fonts, you need a base install of KDE. You log into KDE, set your fonts, then log back into gnome. That's a problem when running KDE apps on gnome.

You might be able to install and run some Gnome 1.x config tools to change the font, but you'd have to do some research as to what they were called and where to find them. I used Gnome 1.x for a while, but at the time I was more used to using CDE so I didn't like or get used to Gnome 'till 2.0.

That seems to fix the gtk fonts on KDE pretty well... might work for you there.
