FVWM: Changing font.........

2009-08-26 Thread Charlie

Hello,

I don't know anything about FVWM and not certain this is the correct
place to ask this question. 

Running Debian Squeeze

On some application windows, toolbar menu, drop down menus, there are
some very ugly looking half hearted fonts. In particular two that come
to mind LyX and Kalarm. Yet on other programs and apps they are
alright.

Is this a thing that can be fixed by FVWM or is this an individual
program application problem?

The actual name of the window of the program like Lyx looks fine,
though a different font family could make it look more attractive.

In my ~/.fvwm there is this:

DestroyFunc FuncFvwmSetFont-WindowTitle
AddToFunc   FuncFvwmSetFont-WindowTitle
+ I Style "$0" Font "$1"

But I have no idea what the font "$1" is at all?

Thanks for any help to get this into my head.
Charlie

Since you mention toolbars, drop down menus, etc., this has nothing to
do with FVWM.  That's down to the application, and hence your Qt/GTK
settings in this case.

FVWM only controls the fonts for the reparented window -- so things
like the font in the window titlebar, your own menus created with
FVWM, etc.

Then look at:  qtconfig and/or qtconfig-qt4

See above.

Depends how it is called.  Examples would be:

FuncFvwmSetFont-WindowTitle XTerm Fixed

But as I said earlier, that part of the window is controlled by FVWM,
and FVWM is not responsible for what fonts the actual application
uses.

Thank you for clearing that up and your help Thomas. It's much
appreciated.
