Hi all
This is my very first post on this forum
Anyway, I'm busy setting up a little server box at home hosting various servers (LAMP etc) in VirtlualBox VMs to play around with.
I'm using Fluxbox on my host. By Googling, I could easily find help on making the fonts of GTK apps in my WM more readable by creating a .gtkrc-2.0 and setting the font name+size in there. But I couldn't find anything similar for apps that depends on QT libs (Virtual Box GUI in this case) and the font for it is very small and ugly. Is there such a file to configure QT fonts?
Thanks
Derek

try running 'qtconfig', cant recall exactly where the config file is to do it by hand.
Or 'systemsettings' if you have kdebase-workspace installed.

Hi Chrysalis, thanks for you reply.
I don't have any config front-ends installed. Will need to do it by hand

qtconfig is part of qt

Mmm.
So what can provide the widget layer for Virtual Box on my machine then? I thought it is built on top of QT.
I don't seem to have QT installed.
$ qt<tab> produces nothing in my terminal. (I think - can't remember now.) But I will check again when I get back home tonight.
I installed closed source Virtual Box 2.1.4 from the binary package from virtualbox.org. Only had some virtualisation lib as a dependency) and I never installed QT or other apps that would pull down dependent libs via pacman.
Thanks, will let you know if this worked.

Static qt build i guess so it wouldnt respect your qt settings even if you had them.
I use virtualbox_bin with qt from aur which is the full featured peronal edition.
Edit: btw, never install stuff in arch without making a pkg for it. Theres pkgbuilds in aur for everything you can think of.

Ah. Aur packages are new to me. Googled and I'm very pleased
I'm starting to like Arch more and more!

Well, the answer was, like you said, to install qt:
# pacman -S qt
