I am a unreconstructed fan of KDE but occasionally I like to use Gonme applications such as the Gimp. The problem is the Gnome font size seems about two points smaller than the KDE one. When I start up GCC, the font size of *everything* suddenly increases by two points so KDE fonts are now enormous! How can I achieve a happy compromise between the two worlds. I have a $HOME/.gtkrc-mine which contains: style "user-font" { fontset = "-microsoft-verdana-*-*-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" } widget_class "*" style "user-font" but this seems to be ignored.
