can't get rid of the KDE fonts in GNOME

[ptviperz]

I finally performed my upgrade from Karmic today, everything went smooth and looked great. I decided to check out how KDE looked so I logged out, went into KDE and poked around for a bit then went back to GNOME. All my fonts are now that horrible tiny KDE font and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to return the fonts to their previous glory.

Can anyone, please, point me in the right direction? I've totally removed KDE from my system, I took all the files out of ~.fontconfig and set antialiasing to false in /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-antialias.conf but still no joy.

[edit] I haven't found the settings to get back to default but I've installed the MS font pack which looks better than the KDE stuff

This will get you back to a pure Gnome setup:

I did that but it still didn't remove the fonts. It DID, however, remove mysql, phpmyadmin and mediawiki. :)

Right click on the desktop, select Change Desktop Background, go to the fonts tab, change them to your hearts content. :)
