I just tried to change the font sizes that Gnome uses for its desktop font and application fonts.
I just updated my OS from Fedora 9 to Fedora 10.
My 1st attempt was to use
Fedora Gnome Menu
Fedora-->System-->Preferences-->Look And Feel-->Appearances
menu Item.
For some reason (I am trying to find out ) gnome policy kit is throwing an error and this application will not run >:(
I found a work around... run gconftool-2 from the commandline
Fonconfig workaround
gconftool-2 –set /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_font –type string “DejaVu Sans 9″
gconftool-2 –set /desktop/gnome/interface/document_font_name –type string “DejaVu Sans 9″
gconftool-2 –set /desktop/gnome/interface/font_name –type string “DejaVu Sans 9″
gconftool-2 –set /apps/metacity/general/titlebar_font –type string “"DejaVu Sans 9″
gconftool-2 –set /desktop/gnome/interface/monospace_font_name –type string “"DejaVu Sans Mono 8″
