Hello all
I am using Openbox now after being a long time Gnome user, and so far I'm enjoying it. However, I'd like to get my font settings back to the way I had them, because I really liked them that way. For reference, here is a screenshot of the gnome font selector that I found through Google.
As you can see it gives 5 different font types to choose.
Application font is what I set through lxappearance
Desktop font is irrelevant since I don't use nautilus to draw the desktop for me
Window title font is whats used for metacity, again not relevant for me
Fixed width font I don't need, since I set my font in urxvt through .Xdefaults now.
However, how do I set the Document font now? I know pidgin uses it to show the text in conversation windows for example. Where can I set this font now?

With Openbox you use obconf to change the the Window title font (and Openbox menu font). And the "Application font" is changed using lxappearance or just modifying the .gtkrc-2.0 file.
All other fonts are settings within the specific application. I know Pidgin has settings to set the font for the conversation.

obconf is not the answer to my problem, as it doesn't have an option to set the GTK Document font. I found a plugin that changes the fonts in pidgin, but I'd rather have a solution for all GTK applications.

I don't think Openbox has such an option.
lxappearance changes the menu/items fonts for applications, but text editors for example have their own font settings for displaying text.

[starlight] ~ > cat .gtkrc-2.0
# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
include "/home/oxyd/.themes/New Wave/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
style "user-font" {
font_name = "DejaVu Sans 9"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
gtk-font-name="DejaVu Sans 9"
include "/home/oxyd/.gtkrc.mine"
# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
This was generated by gtk-chtheme. All fonts are DejaVu Sans, including all fonts in Pidgin, and just about everywhere I know, except when the application overrides the font.

It's obvious that what I'm looking for won't be handled by Openbox, because I'm asking how to change a GTK setting. It's going to need a configuration file of some sort. I guessed it would have to be something in gtkrc, it seems applying a style that sets font_name to all widgets was what I needed, because gtk-font-name is what sets the Application font.

You could change the gktrc in ~/.themes/THEMENAME/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
