Gnome: root apps have larger font size (but the same theme)

[temcat]

Hi all,

recently I have noticed that root apps like Synaptic or GParted started to use larger font size than regular ones. At the same time, they do respect my GTK theme. How do I permanently fix the fonts?

Thanks in advance!

* Run the command 'gnome-appearance-properties'
* Go to the 'Fonts' Tab
* Click on the 'Details' Button at the bottom
* Change the Resolution to 96 Dots per Inch(DPI)

That should solve your problem.
