Re: small (size 8) fonts

["Chris Chabot" <chabotc reviewboard com>]

The solution is quite simple though, edit (or create) a ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file,
and add your fonttag of choice to it. (its been asked and awsnered here
before, i know since i was the one asking ;-) I hope we'll have a decent
theme selector w/ font selector soon)

The short of it is [.gtkrc-2.0]:

style "default"
{
   font_name = "Sans 12"
}

class "*" style "default"


To further quote HP: "You can't use X font descriptions, you have to use the
Pango format,  e.g. "Times 14" or "Arial 10" or whatever. I know this makes
you cry."
