I've the same problem and found out that is due to upgrading to gtk+ 2.4.0 since the font changing problem occurs now also for gkrellm 2.1.27, where fonts used to work perfectly. Confirm that the bug was seen after an upgrade to GTK+-2.4 . This picture illustrates the problem: http://www.geocities.com/kream77/gkrellm2-font-problem.png While this was what it was like before the upgrade: http://www.geocities.com/kream77/gkrellm2-working-fonts.png Gkrellm2 has a setting for fonts in Configuration / Themes /Fonts where it tells you that you can specify alternate fonts. No matter what font I select in the font selection boxes there, the font still remains the same. Thanks for your time, Martin.

I have gtk+-2.4 I can't select even Arial, Sans, Times, or any of the basic ones. Well, I can select but they don't display All my Gnome / Gtk apps are working with fonts, except GKrellM On Thu, 2004-04-01 at 09:40, Bill Wilson wrote: On Wed, 31 Mar 2004 15:47:48 -0700 > Dale K Dicks <dale_d@telusplanet.net> wrote: > > > I have tried to set fonts in GKrellM in all of the 2.x series and the > > font dialog box allows me to select a font but the font is not applied > > to the GKrellM Window. > > > > I am wondering if something has changed in Gnome that has not been > > accounted for yet in GKrellM? > > > > This bug occurs with Gnome 2.4.2 and Gnome 2.6.0. > > > > Any idea what could be causing it? > > I don't think there's anything in Gnome that would cause this.

I have no problem selecting Arial, Sans, etc here with gtk+-2.2 and those should be selectable whether gkrellm is using Pango or GdkFont. Thanks for letting me know and I'll try to track it down.

gkrellm-2.2.0_pre1.ebuild
Works on my machine, under Gnome 2.6. Have not noticed any regressions.
Uses ${P/_pre/-test} semantic trickery.
Working on my machine too. gnome-2.4.2 glib-2.4.0 pango-1.4.0 p.s.: new gkrellm look r0x! :) works well for me. Well, the fonts are terrible (too large), but I can change their sizes and choose different fonts. Gnome 2.6.x Created attachment 31482 [details] Ebuild for gkrellm 2.2.0 GKrellM 2.2.0 was just released with the new font rendering. It also includes the slit patch (see http://web.wt.net/~billw/gkrellm/Changelog). This is based on Ed's ebuild in comment 8. Bug 49435 also contains an ebuild for 2.2.0-test1, perhaps it can be merged with this bug. can this be closed, as 2.2 serie seems to fix this, and 2.2.5 is the latest stable version? Closing a stale bug. |
