Only problem is, although all GTK2 apps use the AA Verdana, all GTK 1.2 apps(well, all 2 of them: GCombust and J-Pilot) still use ol' Helvetica.

Is there any way anyone's aware of to make them all consistent, or are GTK 1.2 apps simply not able to use AA fonts?

I am running XFCE4 with Pekwm as my WM, and XFCE4 allows me to set the application fonts. I have tried editing my .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 config file thusly:

style "user-font" { font="Verdana 10" }

but to no avail.

Anti-aliasing doesn't work on gtk 1.x apps. There's a workaround that is supposed to create AA but I can't remember what it's called. I'm using Slackware 9.0. It has a file called .gtkrc which controls the fonts in gtk 1.x apps. Here's what mine looks like: (note that although it says "do not edit," I had to edit the font info by hand to get it to work. # -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT include "/usr/share/themes/Sunshine-mine/gtk/gtkrc" style "user-font" { font="-microsoft-verdana-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" } widget_class "*" style "user-font" include "/home/glens/.gtkrc.mine" # -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT -- Glen Strom gstrom-MwcKTmeKVNQ at public.gmane.org -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
