a picture - note the tiny font in the mail preview pain (327.18 KB, image/png)

Description Michael Meeks 2011-07-20 20:22:06 UTC 
Evolution's preview mail rendering font acts extremely oddly in 2.30. It seems not to follow the system font settings (from gnome-tweak-tool).

I have the composer settings / font size set to use system defaults, and the system defaults are sane; most odd.
Comment 1 André Klapper 2011-07-21 01:24:29 UTC 
Normally 2.30 reports are directly closed as OBSOLETE...
Comment 2 Michael Meeks 2011-07-21 08:48:03 UTC 
I'm sorry - this is a 3.0 report - but my brain was going slow (prolly eye strain from broken fonts ;-)

Comment 4 Michael Meeks 2011-07-21 12:28:11 UTC 
Hah it seems the font comes from gconf:

gtkhtml/gtkhtml.c:              fixed_name = gconf_client_get_string (gconf, "/desktop/gnome/interface/monospace_font_name", NULL);

which is not what gnome-tweak-tool is changing, and of course the old gnome-appearance-capplet is not there to provide a UI for this either.

I managed to work around it with gconf-editor in the end; thanks.
Comment 5 André Klapper 2011-07-21 13:37:39 UTC 
Well, EVERYTHING around evo still uses gconf instead of GSettings...
Adding dependency.

Fixed for GtkHtml 4.1.4 in:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtkhtml/commit/?id=454eb1d1005735443d116f829760f226a53653a2
Comment 7 André Klapper 2011-07-24 20:45:17 UTC 
@mbarnes: Assuming that you just killed the complete gconf dependency of gtkhtml, there is
   gboolean
   gtk_html_build_with_gconf (void)
   {
   	return TRUE;
   }
in gtkhtml.c/.h - does that still make any sense?
Cannot find any other use when grep'ing gtkhtml, evo and e-d-s...
Comment 8 Matthew Barnes 2011-07-24 21:07:43 UTC 
Pointless function, even when it did use GConf, but not really worth breaking the API over.
