Hi Jim,
I suspect this may have something to do with how gtk3/gnome3 is built
and/or configured on the Mac. I have no experience with the jhbuild
environment and have always used the MacPorts packages, but have never
made any attempt to dig into how the latter are built. As I said, I was
Roger:
I tried your font changing solution to alter the font for my gtk3
application. I was unable to change the font by putting gtk-font-name
in settings.ini regardless of where I put that file or the value of the
environment variable XDG_CONFIG_HOME... or the actual font name. I

I had a similar problem with gtk3 and gtkmm3 programs on MacOS X
(Yosemite) and Linux (Ubuntu). I am using jhbuild to install the
gtk/gtkmm libraries on the Mac. The UI looks fine on Linux but not so
good on the Mac. The problem appears to be the theme.

Wow, here's a shocker, to my own stupid self at least -- it appears that
gtk3 is tied into the native MacOS font system!
Thanks for the tip on fontconfig/fc-cache, Allin. Once I looked into this
it became apparent that fontconfig had known all along about all kinds of
fonts, but none of the

class method override_font.
For example
Gtk::TextView tv1;
Pango::FontDescription *pfd = new Pango::FontDescription(Sans 8);

building gtk3 for OSX using jhbuild, and I've found a bunch of issues with
themes and icons and fonts, as per the above discussion. I'm wondering
where the 'responsibility' of setting up a nice vanilla configuration lies?

Thanks, Jim, your hint on setting XDG_CONFIG_HOME led me to a bunch of
other useful info on the web that I have been slogging through all morning

Hi all,
So I finally have my problem fully solved for now, and here is a summary
of the pertinent points. Beware that some of this may only apply to the
MacPorts install of gtk3, I have no experience with any other type of gtk3
install on MacOS.

Hi all,
I have an application suite built on gtk3 which is targeted at both Linux
(specifically CentOS 6 and 7) and MacOS X (Yosemite). Although the
software is usable under MacOS I am having an ugly cosmetic problem there
with my GtkTextView widgets, and other visual details are also not
