Public bug reported: To reproduce, install gnome-tweak-tool and change your system fonts and font sizes on each tab. Relog or restart to let the changes take complete effect (I've noticed the titlebars don't change immediately). You'll find every application uses the new font settings as you would expect, however for some strange reason files and folders on the desktop do not. The Examples Folder and Install Ubuntu 11.10 shortcut on my desktop both use the Ubuntu font and the original font size.
I've attached a screenshot to illustrate better. All fonts are set to Droid Sans (except for the monospace font which is set to Droid Mono) ** Affects: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/822999 Title: [Oneiric] Changing system/theme fonts and/or sizes doesn't change the desktop file/folder fonts and/or sizes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/822999/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
