I doubt this is the problem however. it's the default theme although since then I've tried a couple of others but all have this same enormous font. > GNOME 2 is far more sensible in this regard - there's a lot less clutter and > mess. Hooray. is that in woody though? (and I don't want to download large amounts which is why I installed from cd) maybe I'll try tomorrow adding a new user and see what fonts they get in case it's remanents of some old gnome setting in my home dir. Although the fonts were ok under RH 7.3 (same 1.4 gnome version too I think, same machine, same home dir etc etc). I tried grepping for font names under ~/.gnome and manually changing the sizes down a point or two but again not much or no effect. Where should all the fonts to use be stored?
