[ILUG] gv and .xdefaults question [Solved]

[ILUG] gv and .xdefaults question [Solved]

Hi,

Just in case anyone wants to change the "gv" fonts (for more real estate on 
laprops for example):

place the following:

GV*fontSet: -bitstream-bitstream vera sans-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
GV*SmeBSB.fontSet: -misc-*-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
GV*Button.fontSet: -misc-*-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
GV*newtoc.fontSet: -bitstream-bitstream vera sans \ 
mono-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-* 

in your ~/.gv file. Of course, the fonts can be replaced with your own 
choices :)

Cheers,

Laur
