I wonder if this is even really happening with respect to setting xsettings, the gnome font applet has in the recent past (the past year anyway) had a race condition where it would not get set right and wouldn't actually change properly until a user logged out and back in. I am not sure if this was ever fixed in gnome.
I can look into this further but in the past similar issues were due directly to bugs in gnome-control-center, reassigning back to g-c-c until it is determined the font issue actually is not due to the races that have been seen before. ** Package changed: openoffice.org (Ubuntu) => gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) -- gnome-appearance-manager doesn't set font setting for whole system https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/560665 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
