View Full Version : [kubuntu] GTK Font size too big..

I have Ubuntu 9.04 with Kubuntu installed on top of it.

When running a GTK app the font size is much bigger than my KDE font size, I tried decreasing the font size manualy under System Settings > Appearance > GTK Styles and Fonts, but the font size remains unchanged (also after rebooting).

Anyone know what I might be able to do about this?

And while I'm at it, is there any way I can make Dolphin the default file manager when opening a file manager from within a GTK app? (eg when you right click > open directory on a download in firefox).

In a terminal:

gconf-editor /desktop/gnome/interface/font_name

What size does it say?

Sans 8, but I'm pretty sure my GTK font size is larger than that.

Had the same problem here and going to System settings / Appearance / Fonts and setting Force fonts DPI to 96 DPI finally decreased the GTK apps's fonts to a more reasonable size.

Thanks dude, I was just wondering how to do that now, without the gtk style and fonts system setting module in Appearance.

Thanks a lot days_of_ruin.
My problem was that all texts in ubuntu studio 9.10 was very small for me to read them.
I went to where you said and changed all font sizes from 8 to 12 so texts are no big enough for me to read them easier than before. It solved my problem.:D
