Re: Make gtk widgets use a larger font
The fastest solution is probably to install x11/gtk-theme-switch2 and use switch2 to change the theme and/or font. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

How do I make gtk widgets use larger fonts? I found an old linux
FAQ on this, but it appears to have nothing to do with the way
configuration works on FreeBSD.
In ~/.gtkrc-2.0, I have ...
style default
{
#font=-adobe-new century
schoolbook-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
#font_name=New Century Schoolbook 12
font_name=Bitstream Vera Sans 10
}
style user-tooltip
{
font_name=Screen 15
}
# 'gtk-font-name' property is needed for damned Firefox 1.5 as
# 'font_name' property alone didn't work, but does for Gimp 2.2.
# Anti-aliased fonts are used though i would love to use
# non-anti-aliased font in order to get New Century Schoolbook 14
# font.
#gtk-font-name = Bitstream Vera Serif 12
#gtk-font-name = New Century Schoolbook 12
gtk-font-name = Bitstream Vera Sans 10
widget * style default
widget *tooltip* style user-tooltip
... and in ~/.gtkrc ...
style default
{
font=-adobe-new century schoolbook-medium-r-normal--18-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1
}
style user-tooltip
{
font=-sgi-screen-bold-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-0-iso8859-1
}
widget * style default
widget *tooltip* style user-tooltip

I have yet to be successful. I think the answer should lie in modifying your gtk theme file (.gtkrc-2.0 for GTK 2). I started by copying a theme that I liked (a href=http://www.cimitan.com/murrine/node/220;Black Diamond/a) and modifying it. That worked fine for colors, but I couldn't get any font qualifiers to take. Probably the Murrine engine is getting in the way, and I should start with a blank slate for the theme -- but I haven't had time to build one from scratch yet. All I really wanted this for was to reduce the footprint of the chrome on Firefox, so in the end I just installed the Theme Font Size Changer add-on for Firefox, and that did the trick. -- Sterling (Chip) Camden| sterl...@camdensoftware.com | 2048D/3A978E4F http://camdensoftware.com | http://chipstips.com| http://chipsquips.com pgp8Wntvr7c4u.pgp Description: PGP signature

I'm not sure if it will still work, but in the past,
you could create ~/.gtkrc and override settings as
you liked.
style font_1
{
font= -bh-lucida-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-15
}
class * style font_1
widget * style font_1
Then replace iso8859-15 with the font encoding you
need, and of course 12 with any other font size
that fits your needs. In order to construct the font
determination string based on a visual impression and
attribute selection from lists, you can use the
% xfontsel
program.
Attention: Untested.
