This pretty much fixes the font problem when running GTK apps in KDE.

Hi, I have a very similar situation. I'm running KDE and evolution on RedHat 9.0. The only way I've found to control the 'look and feel' of evolution, which is after all a 'ximian' product (like gnome), is to run 'gnome-control-panel' from a terminal window. Then to open 'themes'. The chosen theme is *remembered* by 'gnome-control-panel', so each time you reboot you need to go through the (gnome-control-panel etc.) routine again. I customised the theme by choosing a them that I liked then going to the file that holds the info in text format. That is a 'gtkrc' file. For example for the 'Bluecurve' theme I'd edit the '/usr/share/themes/Bluecurve/gtk/gtkrc' file. It's a matter of trying out which group of parameters in the gtkrc file determines what in your resulting screen (colours, text size, font etc.) So I got what I wanted finally, beit somewhat indirectly :-) I've posted to several groups about this problem but there is not a lot of light :-( The good news is that it's all configurable if you want to spend the time, Long live open source and Linux. Have tried many, many window managers, always come back to KDE, but happen to think evolution is the best email client. kr, Luke On Sat, 2004-08-28 at 19:33, Rod Butcher wrote: > Following up on my previous email, I've managed to control thee font > sizes of Gnome-responsive apps, while using KDE, by loading the Gnome > Panel (hence having both Gnome and KDE panel running), then killing > Gnome panel.
