[Bug 65708] Re: Fonts not shown in dialogs window

[Daniel Pirch]

I upgraded from dapper to edgy a while ago.

elixxir's workaround didn't work here, apparently the helvetica font is
broken: when I run xfontsel and select helvetica (or any other adobe
font), the preview area of the xfontsel window is not drawn at all (the
previously selected font or parts of overlapping windows remain).

However, using the following ~/.gtkrc.mine works for me:

style "user-font"
{
fontset="-bitstream-bitstream vera sans-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
