GTK fonts problem

2002-12-11 Thread 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?!

From your description I am guessing that your system is keeping the font metric
in place but replaces the actual font glyphs.

I.e. your font installation is screwed somewhere but debugging it may be
non-trivial, particularly without access to the actual system.

Cheers,
