Hi Matthieu,

Thanx for all the help, I did download the latest version: 2.0.8, as 
recommended.

Wow, congratulations on a wonderful GUI config panel. It is so much 
better than the Mint repository version, ( why do they not have this 
latest ver.)
It seems to do all I ask now, and the fix with the font family works 
fine, Thnx.
My problem (no big deal) still is the ATI graphics adaptor, which will 
not support openGL. I did try to download the updated drivers from ATI a 
while back but it killed my PC completely, leading to a total re-install.
I am relatively new to Linux (march this year) after more than 20 years 
with MS, but I am 100% converted. However I still struggle a little with 
the techspeak in some areas.
See attached screenshot, the Tux-o'clock is my derivation of cairo-clock 
and works fine in the dock too.
Many thnx again to all the team for an excellent dock.

Fuerteventura, Islas Canarias, Spain

Bug description:
When I use the icon font panel in config, I can see all my installed fonts. I change to selected font, go to apply, but the font remains as default, no matter which I choose.
When I look in the config txt file in themes folder I can see the relevanmt line

police=hobo 12

but it still doesn't appear on screen. 
The colour selection part, and point size, all seem to work fine, just the font family is a problem

I use cairo-dock because it works well on my Linux Mint 6 environment as opposed to AVN, because I have an ATI graphics card and the CD works so much better. I enjoy changing the visual effects to suit my current wallpaper so quick configuration is very useful. 
Congratulations on a very simple, useable and effective dock.

My  -v is 1.6.2.3 from synaptic package handler.
