(Solved) Strange font in MCC after upgrade to Mga8

Postby dbg » Apr 12th, '21, 17:22

After the upgrade to Mga8 I have one small cosmetic problem. The font used in MCC appears to be 10 pt A.D Mono. See: http://dennis.homelinuxserver.org/mcc-font.png

This makes it very hard to read. Previous versions of KDE had a setting where fonts in GTK programs could be specified. I changed the GTK theme in system settings/Application Style but it had no effect on MCC. The fonts in other GTK programs (GIMP, Firefox, etc) work fine. Where is the setting to fix the MCC font?

I had this also, affected also login screen.
just check that all your repos have been carried forward in the upgrade and reset if required.

as root
urpmi --auto-update
bought in some missing packages and fixed it for me.

The repos are set correctly and everything is up-to-date. This is the third computer I have upgraded from 7 to 8. The other 2 do not have this problem. The fonts on the login screen (sddm) are OK. The fonts on every program I've tried are OK. Only MCC has this bad font.

Is this everywhere in MCC or only in rpmdrake per your screenshot ?

Can you check what gtkrc settings you have and if there's anything related in them?
Code: Select all
find . -iname "*gtkrc*" -ls


This is a mostly default mga8 which was only switch to a dark theme:

Code: Select all
[doktor5000@Mageia8]─[17:56:47]─[~] cat .gtkrc-2.0
gtk-theme-name="Breeze"
gtk-enable-animations=1
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=0
gtk-toolbar-style=3
gtk-menu-images=1
gtk-button-images=1
gtk-cursor-theme-size=24
gtk-cursor-theme-name="breeze_cursors"
gtk-icon-theme-name="breeze-dark"
gtk-font-name="Noto Sans,  10"

[doktor5000@Mageia8]─[17:57:32]─[~] cat ./.config/gtkrc
# created by KDE Plasma, Mo. Apr. 5 14:29:42 2021
#
include "/usr/share/themes/Breeze/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

gtk-theme-name="Breeze"

[doktor5000@Mageia8]─[17:57:42]─[~] cat ./.config/gtkrc-2.0
# created by KDE Plasma, Mo. Apr. 5 14:29:42 2021
#

gtk-alternative-button-order = 1

Maybe you have some different setting for gtk-font-name ?

edit: also check if you have some gtkrc in root's home folder (/root).

Changed gtk-font-name in /root/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini to Noto Sans 9. Problem solved. Thanks doctor5000!
