Both gtk1 and gtk2 are installed. If I do a pkg_info -Rr on the relevant packages they have a dependency to gtk2 > pkg_info -Rr evolution-1.4.0_1 | grep gtk Dependency: gtk-2.2.2 Dependency: gtkhtml3-3.0.5 > pkg_info -Rr pan2-0.14.0 | grep gtk Dependency: gtk-2.2.2 Dependency: gtkspell2-2.0.4 > Are > you also reverting back to the default (ugly) GTK2 theme?

Yes, there seems to be a lot of discussion about how to control GTK fonts outside of gnome without a coherent answer. Any further help is much appreciated. Sorry for being such a newb about GTK sutff. Have been working with FreeBSD, KDE and related apps for sometime with no problems but thought I'd give windowmaker and other apps a go... expand my knowledge etc... but having trouble.
