I've been looking into this, although my intention was to make the fonts smaller. I have yet to be successful. I think the answer should lie in modifying your gtk theme file (.gtkrc-2.0 for GTK 2). I started by copying a theme that I liked (<a href="http://www.cimitan.com/murrine/node/220";>Black Diamond</a) and modifying it. That worked fine for colors, but I couldn't get any "font" qualifiers to take. Probably the Murrine engine is getting in the way, and I should start with a blank slate for the theme -- but I haven't had time to build one from scratch yet. All I really wanted this for was to reduce the footprint of the chrome on Firefox, so in the end I just installed the "Theme Font Size Changer" add-on for Firefox, and that did the trick. -- Sterling (Chip) Camden | sterl...@camdensoftware.com | 2048D/3A978E4F http://camdensoftware.com | http://chipstips.com | http://chipsquips.com
