[Bug 886805] [NEW] Font size override doesn't work

 

Public bug reported:

If I try to use Preferences->Mail Preferences->Message Fonts (with "Use
the same fonts as other applications" unchecked of course) to override
the general desktop font I can only only override the message display
font and not the UI font.  Meaning, I can change the selector, it just
doesn't actually change any UI fonts.

If I use gconf-editor to adjust /desktop/gnome/interface/font_name, the
evolution UI follows those changes.  I don't want to change all of the
fonts on my desktop however and just want to adjust the fonts in
evolution.
