Finally fixed this on my end after reading through a few bugs.
Everyone seems to be suggesting that you remove the file .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 and
that you paste some info into .gtkrc.mine.
The funny part is that looking in .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 you will probably
see an incude line for .gtkrc.mine. So how the heck will deleting
.gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 get anything that you paste into .gtkrc.mine to work?
Here's what I did.
In .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 paste the following:
style "user-font"
{
fontset="-bitstream-bitstream vera
sans-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
Delete .gtkrc.mine
Everything should work perfectly.
I was only having trouble with audacity--and it is having no problems
now.
