Hello,
I am writing an Air application and I would like to have the app use the font indicated in Appearance Preferences.
A similar problem to this one :
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1643913&highlight=default+system+font
I do not have Gtk::Settings and I have looked in ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/ but I do not have an interface folder and none of the others I opened have any font details.
I have tried simply not setting a font within my application but it is using a font not specified in the Appearance Preferences at all. It looks like Times.
Ideally I would like to be able to get this information from Ubuntu using a native process :
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/desktop/NativeProcess.html
Does anyone know of such a process that might help me get the font name of the Application font or would I have to write a script and call that from inside Air?
I have a default installation of Ubuntu 10.4 with Unity running on top of Gnome. (I think this is correct. I certainly can get Nautilus running quite easily and as I mentioned earlier I have ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/ folders.
The brief is to get the application working on the default installation so I cannot install anything but the target machine I am using has got 'gconftool'. Can this help? Am I even looking in the right direction?
I am not a complete Ubuntu noob but this is certainly past my current knowledge and grateful for any assistance.
