[Bug 697795] [NEW] Application font does not obey the selected desktop font

 

Public bug reported:

Gwibber 2.91.3 (and also the previous beta versions) do not obey the
selected Desktop forn in Ubuntu 10.10 but use the document font instead.
Please fix this, as this seems to take a very very minor effort to fix -
as a non-coder, I (have to) use the following workaround in each new
release, replacing "document_font_name" with "font_name" in gwui.py:

$ sudo gedit /usr/share/pyshared/gwibber/gwui.py
(find line ~241 and replace)
    default_font = self.gc.get_string("/desktop/gnome/interface/document_font_name")
(with)
    default_font = self.gc.get_string("/desktop/gnome/interface/font_name")
