Since I last upgraded my Debian Testing/Etch system some GTK applications, Endeavour2 for example, display a fairly awful font which I cannot change and some others, gFtp for example display a perfectly acceptable font.
I have installed the Gtk Theme Engine package which gives me, in theory, the ability to change font/theme for GTK in the KDE Control Centre but whatever I do the font doesn't change. All the KDE fonts are fine.
I have both GTK 1 and GTK 2 installed.
Some suggestions as to how to fix this would be very welcome.
Hmmm, sounds very similar to what happened to me not so long ago - I took the slightly nasty route that meant removing most of X and starting again... I basically removed all of the fonts, fontconfig and defoma, then reinstalled the lots of it (I was being lazy), I think it's related to the x.org changes, but I couldn't pin point it. Meant that I cleared off rather a few packages though - which I then (mostly) reinstalled :)
Good luck!
