I initially installed the gnome desktop on this new sarge system but I have since removed it. The trouble is that a few applications that I installed "on top of gnome" or in other words: when gnome was still installed.. still use the fonts that "came with" gnome to display their menus & panels, eg. lyx, xscreensaver-demo, synaptic.. etc.
I have a few problems with these fonts - for one I don't have the foggiest where they live.. and that's a little annoying.. the usual 'X' utilities such as xfontsel or xlsfonts don't see them.. Though I cannot check now.. I believe that when the gnome configuration tools were available they told me that these fonts came from the bitstream foundry and had family names like vera, vera-sans etc.. I grepped the various directories that I found in the xfs font server conf file and couldn't find any trace of these fonts..
The other problem that I have is that I cannot find a place where I can change these fonts, resize them to something more reasonable (the font on menu bars is about a quarter of an inch high, about twice the height of the one on the window's title bar..) and hopefully turn off anti-aliasing.
Well I hope somebody will be able to make sense of this and possibly provide a few pointers.
Thank you.
