Thanks Micah, Setting the font in the preferences may be my best option. I think I'll look at the resource files anyway, just to learn more.

I believe the idea is to allow the user to specify font size rather than the application. Part of Desktop GUI development is allowing your program to fit the customer's needs (ie 10 years ago I preferred tiny little fonts, and now that I'm going blind they get progressively larger). Font sizes are specified in 'System' -> 'Preferences' -> 'Fonts' under GNOME in FC6. If you really want to specify your own font, you may want to use an rc file: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.2/gtk/gtk-Resource-Files.html Russell Markus wrote: > I have developed an application using Glade-2 on Fedora Core 6.
