    I'm running 1280x1024 with KDE on a Mandrake9.1 distro.  The font sizes in eroaster are quite small at this resolution, is there a way to increase the sizes or are they hardcoded in the app?  I've searched and searched in gnome but cannot find a way of doing it that is successful.  This is not the only gtk app that seems to have this problem.

    Sure would appreciate a fix if there is one.

      ERoaster uses the default GNOME settings. To adjust these, use the gnome-control-center.

      I'm guessing I have something missing in the gnome area then because I used the gnome-control-center and set the application fonts to a size of 22 (huge) everything on the system is excessively large except for eroaster.  It didn't change them at all.  So I set ALL fonts to that large a font and still no change.  I guess thats why I prefer KDE.  Things just seem to work with it.  I might add that the fonts within Arson did not change either so I'm pretty sure its my gnome setup, but what I have no idea nor where to start looking.  :(

      Which versions of GNOME and ERoaster do you use ? If you have GNOME2 and ERoaster 2.0.* (which is based on GNOME1), you can modify your .gtkrc file and add something like:

      style "user-font"
      {
            fontset="-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-10-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1"
      }
      widget_class "*" style "user-font"

      Mandrake's gnome 2.2 and eroaster 2.1.0.  Hmmm, .gtkrc file, I have 4 different ones in my home directory, .gtkrc, .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2, .gtkrc-2.0 and .gtkrc-kde.  The only one that is not auto written and says nothing about not editing is .gtkrc-kde and I added your lines to it and still nothing. 

      I'm wondering now if the problem might not be Mandrake caused? and their adoption of gnome2?

      Well 2 more hints. First, try to modify the ".gtkrc" file, even if it's auto generated. Second, upgrade to 2.2.0-0.3, which is GNOME2 based.
