Using gtk-theme-switch

I hate to trouble the the forum with this question, particularly so since I directed it to the package's developer about a week ago and have not received the courtesy of an answer.

Am I correct to assume that in using gtk-theme-switch to set fonts that, once set, the same font is then used for all applications employing gtk-2? Looking at the program's little interface, I can't see how one might use it on, say, one program, then another one and so on. Precisely how is this thing used anyway?

Re: Using gtk-theme-switch

It sets the "base" font other GTK+2 apps use, yes. If you've ever used a session manager like GNOME's session manager or ROX-Session, it's roughly equivilant to the "application font" setting.

Re: Using gtk-theme-switch

RdsArts,

Thanks for your reply.

I do not use a desktop environment, rather I use a WM and launch all applications from the WM's menu. If I understand you, when you say "It sets the 'base font' other GTK+2 apps use", you're saying that if I use gtk-theme-switch to set lucida 12, for example, the tool bar and menu fonts in all gtk+2 applications would be set to lucida 12 thereafter. Am I right about that?

Re: Using gtk-theme-switch

Basically. It's also what's used in the actual app for text on labels and buttons and whatnot.
