For Firefox/Thunderbird, go here to find out how.
For Gaim and all other GTK+ applications, Code: | emerge gtk-theme-switch | , then run "switch2" to change fonts and themes. |

switch2 works well for the most gtk/gnome apps, but not for firefox (for me)
i had a similar problem and changed the .gtkrc* files in my home folder like this:
Code: | root@gentoo-aslocum\:cat .gtkrc-2.0
#my gtk theme set by switch2
include "/usr/share/themes/Lilacurve/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
#font set from switch2
style "user-font"
{
font_name="Bitstream Vera Sans 8"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
include "/home/aslocum/.gtkrc.mine"
#added by me
gtk-font-name="Bitstream Vera Sans 8"
|
i have edited .gtkrc, .gtkrc.mine, .gtkrc-2.0 and .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 just for sure
no problems and fine fonts _________________ Dell Latitude d610 1.6Ghz 1GB
