[Bug 62300] Re: [Edgy] fonts are not displayed in GTK1 applications

[Aaron C. de Bruyn]

Finally fixed this on my end after reading through a few bugs.
Everyone seems to be suggesting that you remove the file .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 and that you paste some info into .gtkrc.mine.

The funny part is that looking in .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 you will probably
see an incude line for .gtkrc.mine.  So how the heck will deleting
.gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 get anything that you paste into .gtkrc.mine to work?

Here's what I did.
In .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 paste the following:
style "user-font"
{
fontset="-bitstream-bitstream vera sans-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

Delete .gtkrc.mine

Everything should work perfectly.

I was only having trouble with audacity--and it is having no problems
now.
