Description Avirupa Chakrabarty 2002-04-08 05:29:56 UTC 
Reproducibility: Always
Version : 1.99.6
Tested on Solaris 2.9 64 bit platform. 

Procedure:
1. Start up Gnome control center. Double click on the option 'Preferences: 
Font' to open the Font preferences dialog window.
2. Click on the font button to open the font selection window and select 
an font, its style and size. The font preview is displayed in the preview 
box. Click on the 'OK' button.
3. The open application's title bar texts are supposed to change according 
to the selected font but no change is visible.

Fairly major if this doesn't work. That said, the current CVS version
of the capplet specifically says 'this doesn't work' so maybe it's not
possible on all platforms?

Updating all cc bugs that have the GNOME2 keyword set to the GNOME2.0 milestone,
to help jrb triage/prioritize cc bugs. Filter on 'luis doing GNOME2 work' to
ignore this spam.

The claim is that "The open application's title bar texts are supposed
to change according to the selected font but no change is visible."  I
read that as a Sawfish bug, though I suppose one could also argue that
it is the intended behavior of each Sawfish theme to hard-wire its own
theme-specific font instead of relying on the control panel.
Comment 4 Luis Villa 2002-04-11 22:46:08 UTC 
Oh, good catch, Ben. Reassigning to sawfish but yes, this is probably
a   sawfish issue.
Comment 5 John Harper 2002-04-23 07:29:57 UTC 
nothing to do with me

whoever wrote this new gnome font preferences dialog should fix it

The problem seems fixed in the beta 2 build. Hence closing the bug.
