GTK fonts problem

[Louis Sabet]

Hi all,

I've spent the last couple of hours googling and man-paging in vain, trying to sort out the fonts on my GTK applications.

I installed RedHat 8 on a fresh machine, and since then all of my GTK apps (gimp, xchat etc) have weird double-spaced fonts in the menu bars.

I have managed to trace the fault to /etc/gtk/gtkrc, as modifying this file appears to affect the text in my GTK apps, although never in the way I want.

Has anyone else ever seen this weird double-spaced fonts thing? From what I can make out, the font is a standard -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*, but for some reason not as "xfontsel" shows it, but rather with a space between each letter (or almost a space).

Oh, and just so you know, as far as I am aware, I have renamed/moved any other gtkrc files which may be impacting this - such as ~/.gtkrc, and the gtkrc files which crop up in the application directories too. Didn't make much of a difference though.

Have tried various things in the gtkrc file, but I either end up with weird colours or no fonts at all. No matter what I try, I can't change the font to anything vaguely useful.

Can anyone help?!
