Description Gabriel Wicke 2005-08-20 09:34:38 UTC
Please describe the problem:


Steps to reproduce:
1. Start gnome-dict from the menu, set the font in preferences to something like
Bitstream Vera Sans, size 8
2. Font displays properly at size 8, gconf keys are set as follows:
   /apps/gnome-dictionary/fontname: "Bitstream Vera Sans 8"
   /apps/gnome-dictionary/fontsize: "10"
3. Close and re-open gdict

Actual results:
Font size reverted to 10, font face is ok

Expected results:
Remembers font pref (or at least uses to the default desktop font instead of
forcing font size 10)

Does this happen every time?
Yep

Comment 1 Glenn J. Mason 2005-09-09 23:08:15 UTC
This is happening in 2.12 from CVS (jhbuild) too.  When started first time, the
apps/gnome-dictionary/font-face key contains only "Sans" (i.e. no size info) but
when only the size is changed (e.g. to 8pt) the key contains "Sans 8".

But obviously it's still taking font size from apps/gnome-dictionary/font-size,
which is never updated.
Comment 2 Vincent Noel 2005-09-23 14:35:42 UTC
This is now fixed in CVS, and should be in gnome-dictionary 2.12.1.
Thanks for the bug report !
