Hi,

I'm need to access my MSN messenger under linux, the only program which run via my internet connection is gaim.

Now, in the chat window, the font is toooo small, and if I choose a larger font it will reset to the small font a gain, and the increasing and decreasing font icon is disabled.

I hope that I could to explain my problem.

Any help will be appreciated.

As for me, I use KDE now and wanted to make gtk apps look similar to KDE ones, well different task to yours. Anyway. Here people adviced gtk-chtheme utility, it works great for me. Don't know if this would fit your needs, I don't use gaim (there's centericq at present

)

Try running the gnome-font-properties program, if you have that installed. As well as fixing your font problem, it will start the Gnome Settings Daemon which will load your Gnome background and change the appearance of your GTK widgets. That is, if you have installed enough of Gnome for it to do all of that.

It's a poor workaround, I know. I wish I had a better solution for you that doesn't require Gnome to be installed.

you can also emerge gtk-chtheme for gtk2 theme and change the fonts from there.

But how can I apply the gtk2 theme

I emerged that, but that will change the whole system font, and the problem with me just in the CHAT window.

There is a plugin for gaim called gaim-extprefs. It's in portage. One of the options it gives you is to change the font sizes.

this is the output which I get:

a) The environment variable is ACCEPT_KEYWORDS

b) Don't do it like that! Add a line to /etc/portage/package.keywords (create it if it doesn't already exist) that reads:
