When I switched to Fluxbox, I noticed that the default font used by Firefox and other programs menus was far too large.  The font settings come from GTK, but I didn't want to install the GTK control panel to change the font.

I found that simply adding a file named .gtkrc-2.0 in /home/olpc with the following contents fixes this:

Code:

style "user-font"
{
    font_name="DejaVu Sans 6"
}
gtk-font-name="DejaVu Sans 6"

Of course, you can replace the "6" with other numbers and see how they look to you!

eeksock, would this include fonts that are too small (ie. xterm showing up micro-sized).

Will this "hack" also override my currently enabled themes setting?

Code:

For xterm, try launching it as:

[code]
xterm -fa "DejaVu Sans 6"

Change the 6 to suit your desired font size.  I also seem to recall tweaking DisplaySize in the xorg.conf file to:

Code:

DisplaySize 236 177

Though I cannot for the life of me remember how those values were calculated.[/code]
