[SOLVED] GTK Font is Monospace.

thepoke32 · 2018-05-24 12:25:19

So, I installed Arch and for some reason the GTK font is now Monospace.

Things I've tried:
-Changing font in LXAppearance
-Changing font in Xfce Appearance Settings

My DE: LXQT

Mod Edit - Replaced oversized image with link.
CoC - Pasting pictures and code

Did you check the configuration files, and font settings in org.gnome.desktop.interface with e.g. dconf-editor or gsettings?

Also, please don't post oversized images: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … s_and_code

I've always set this sort of stuff manually, make sure it's correct for both GTK2 and GTK3 applications.

Did you try rebooting?

Problem solved!

What I did is modify the .gtkrc-2.0 file in my home folder, reinstalled GTK 2.0 (through pacman with the rdd option) and edit lxappearance. It worked.

LightDM's font was left as Monospace, but I solved it too by copying all the fonts in my .fonts directory to /usr/share/fonts/TTF, modifying the font in lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings and saving the config. It's now the Nexa font. Thanks to everyone for helping me!

Also, thanks for the correction in the post.

Have a good day!

So you had only locally installed fonts? You should install those fonts through pacman.

Arch Linux
