You can see this happening by running: GDK_DEBUG=settings There are several problems here: 1. The apps. Gtk+3 has no concept of an xsetting for monospace font name. All Gtk+3 software which supports this concept finds the default by looking directly at the GNOME gsettings key. Including xfce4-terminal. This means none of that software pays any attention to Xfce's default. Including xfce4-terminal. In addition, some apps seem to directly query gsettings to find the proportional font too, and some will even mix up xsettings and gsettings. An example of this is pidgin, where all bold text uses the font defined in gsettings, and all non-bold text uses the font defined in xsettings. 2. The distro defaults. xubuntu-default-settings supplies default values for the distribution. It sets some of the GNOME gsettings keys to appropriate default values. For example it sets theme-name to Greybird and icon-theme to elementary- xfce. However it does not set defaults for the fonts. Proportional font defaults to Cantrell 11 and monospace is Monospace 11. 2. The settings tool. Xfce appearance setting sets the Xfconf keys of course. But it does not touch any of GNOME's gsettings keys. So if you change your theme for example, the GNOME gsettings key will remain at the default set by xubuntu-default-settings ie Greybird. The setting is now wrong for both Xfce and GNOME. Unfortunately the only correct fix for this is to persuade Gtk developers to adopt an xsetting for the monospace font, and anything else that is missing. This is extremely unlikely to happen as they are trying to remove as many cross-desktop features as possible. Also Gtk+3 is in maintenance mode so it wouldn't be available until we port Xfce to Gtk+4 at the earliest. The only other alternative that will work is to make Xfce appearance settings capable of writing to gsettings, and mirroring all the appearance settings there. This is a horrible solution because those settings are supposed to be private to GNOME, and because appearance settings will need two different settings backends. The one thing we CAN do is patch all Xfce apps to use Xfconf to read this setting. All GNOME apps and cross-desktop apps like Terminator will continue to use the wrong fonts unless the user install dconf-editor or gnome-tweak. Screenshot attached. Desktop is Xfce.

Here is the code which tries to figure out the system default font: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~gnome- terminator/terminator/gtk3/view/head:/terminatorlib/config.py#L368 I went and asked on #gtk+ about this and this is what they said about the dconf/gsettings keys: (20:20:58) ali1234: so why doesn't gtk2 use either of those?
