The font size of menus and dialogs is very small.
Is there a way of changing it, e.g. to the default size that other GTK apps use? If not (e.g. because it is hardcoded), can someone point me to a location in the code where I can change it?
How are you changing font size for GTK? Note that GTK+1 and GTK+2 have independent settings. Also note that (on my machine) running a GNOME program makes the font size instantly go small.
Usually I work under KDE. Just for fun I started a Gnome Session and there the inkscape menus and dialogues come up with a normal font size. Back in KDE the inkscape menus are very tiny again.
(Indeed all other GTK programs I have are GTK+1 and they work well)
I use this http://www.muhri.net/nav.php3?node=gts to change font sizes for GTK+1 and GTK+2.
I tried it. When selecting a larger font, it will display the current theme with this font, but after applying and exiting it has no effect on newly started gtk2 apps. It writes a file named ~/.gtkrc-2.0 with the following lines:
style "user-font" { font_name="Adobe Helvetica 12" } widget_class "*" style "user-font"
Unfortunately this file is not read when I start inkscape (or any other gtk2 app), as strace shows.
I found the following environment variable which seems to indicate which GTK resource files to read:
GTK2_RC_FILES=/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:/usr/share/themes/Geramik/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:~/.gtkrc-2.0-HighColor:~/.kde/share/config/gtkrc
I would like to add ~/.gtkrc-2.0 to that variable (besides cleaning it up somewhat) but have no idea where it is set.
Any hints?
Thanks Mario
