cwchia Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 (edited) After upgrading using urpmi from mdk 9.2 to 10.0, and after losing my package manager component in mcc (now got it back, thanks to the qucik help from this forum), I now have another problem: some program, especially those from Gnome desktop, do have very ugly fonts and in particular my mcc which uses font that are so thin and is almost illegibly small. How can I tweak the onts. Assuming my observation that it has something to do with fonts unde Gnome, how can I tweak it without having to install Gnome? I do not have Gnome installed in my system Thanks. Edited October 2, 2004 by cwchia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwchia Posted October 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Following the tips that I got from the search, I asearched my /root and found that gtkrc-2.0 is missing. So I copied the corresponding file from one of my user home and added a line: gtk-font-name="Bitstream Vera Sans 12" and most part of MCC now look good. However the part that says 'Welcome to the Mandrakelinux Control Center' still using the old ugly font. How do I change it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 make sure you have a .gtkrc-2.0 in /root and all users' /home directories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwchia Posted October 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 I copied the file to all my users' home and root but still the same problem. Now whenever I try to fire up a console I get this message locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory Is this the culprit and how do I remedy it? Thanks.

adamw Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 may well be. That variable defines your locale. try running "LC_ALL=C drakconf" in a terminal and see if that fixes it. If it does, you need to reset your locale, I think there's a tool called draklocale or something like that to set it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
