Thanks Marc. This font is ok.
Size 15
with screen size 1600x1200 looks good for me. Somewhat similar to the
old "BorTE"-font, maybe some people remember it from BPW/TPW on early
Windows versions ...

Ask your favourite search engine for "GTK theming". There are tutorials
on that topic, too.
Short:
You can assign attributes (including colour, font, ...) to classes of or
single widgets in the .gtkrc file.
Example:
<snip>
style "h1"
{
font = "-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-17-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
}
style "h2"
{
font = "-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
}
style "label-14"
{
font = "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
}
widget_class "*GtkFrame*" style "h1"
widget_class "*GtkLabel*" style "label-14"
</snip>
In your application you've got to:
<snip>
gtk_init (@argc, @argv);
gtk_rc_parse( <your_preferred_rc_file> )
... other inits ..
gtk_main ();
</snip>
I see.
Thanks,
Adrian Maier
