A quick fonts question... [solved]
Hello all!
New here, just a quickie.
I use KDE, and when I run Gnome/GTK apps like Gaim or Evolution, I am presented with a pretty crap choice of font 
Anyone know how I change the default font for these type of apps?
Cheers, Phil.

Try opening up gnome-control-center with a Konsole.

Thanks for the help-- I opened up gnome-control-center in a KDE console, went into 'Fonts' and immediately it fixed the fonts.
However as soon as I restart they change back. Any idea how to make it 'stick'?
Cheers, Phil.

Re: A quick fonts question... [solved]
Just to let everyone know, I managed to solve this problem.
I created a text file called ~/.gtkrc-2.0 containing the line :
gtk-font-name = "Tahoma 11"
...and it worked a treat. YMMV though, since there are many methods for many people.
(Obviosly use your font of choice, not mine!)
Cheers, P-J.
