App fonts too big in Ubuntu

darkixion

I've noticed that some applications I run have huge fonts. I can fix this temporarily by selecting Appearance from the Gnome menus, and changing the DPI for fonts down by 1, then back up by 1 then re-applying, but next time I boot up they're big again.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

The quickest way to adjust the fonts is by running:

$ sudo gnome-font-properties

This thread also had an interesting fix by editing a script to set the gtkrc:

Hope that helps a bit
