Both gtk1 and gtk2 are installed.

Yes, there seems to be a lot of discussion about how to control GTK fonts outside of gnome without a coherent answer. Any further help is much appreciated. Sorry for being such a newb about GTK sutff. Have been working with FreeBSD, KDE and related apps for sometime with no problems but thought I'd give windowmaker and other apps a go... expand my knowledge etc... but having trouble. Cheers, Phil.
