Description Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2002-02-25 22:04:28 UTC 
Since all capplets are instance apply, it seems odd that the font capplet
has an apply button. Doesn't seem to work either, but thats a different bug. 

Using the ximian daily snapshot.
Comment 1 Seth Nickell 2002-03-01 03:12:08 UTC 
We need to figure out how long changing fonts will take in GTK2. Will
font changes propogate through a style setting or something? (or will
the user have to restart apps to see the change?). If changes don't
propogate, we should include a warning to that effect, and then try to
get this fixed for 2.2.
Comment 2 Seth Nickell 2002-03-03 00:23:25 UTC 
OK, right now font changes only appear after "Apply" is clicked, and a
new app is started. This is no good :-/

Seth: Are you going to ask owen about this or should I cc: him?
Comment 6 Seth Nickell 2002-03-05 22:19:08 UTC 
According to Owen this is both possible, "Set the 'Gtk/FontName' style
property" and, he thought Zaphod was using this approach, but said
"Could be broke, could be that Zaphod never actually implemented the
XSETTING".

Comment 8 Rachel Hestilow 2002-03-12 05:33:06 UTC 
It's fixed but the gtk+ patch is still pending. I imagine it will be
in the 2.0.1 release scheduled for sometime within a week or two.
Comment 9 Shane O'Connor 2002-04-08 10:42:24 UTC 
On Solaris beta3 no font changes are applied - the gnome2-settings
daemon keeps crashing.
Comment 10 Shane O'Connor 2002-04-29 14:46:36 UTC 
GSD - is fixed - marking as verified fixed.
Comment 11 Shane O'Connor 2002-04-29 14:47:11 UTC 
closing
Comment 12 Shane O'Connor 2002-04-30 16:16:00 UTC 
GSD not crashing but Font changes are not being applied - re-opening
bug. 

Will investigate further in conjunction with theme changes bug #73585
and update with more info.

Comment 14 Luis Villa 2002-05-01 03:35:36 UTC 
Is this possibly related to bug 73585, Jacob?
Comment 15 jacob berkman 2002-05-01 15:35:38 UTC 
there is no longer an apply button.

if font changes aren't happening on solaris, this is the same as bug
73585.
