Actually, all GTK apps; Firefox is just the one that bugs me the most.
I would like very much to change the fonts that
Firefox uses from
Sans-Serif to a Serif font. All of the fixes for this issue that I've
found on the web advocate using GTK-QT-engine and GTK Styles and Fonts to
fix this, but it's not working for me. After verifying that
GTK-QT-engine (trinity-gtk-qt-engine) is installed, I shut down all
instances of Firefox, then used the Trinity Control Center to set "Use my
TDE style in GTK2 applications", "Use my TDE style in GTK3 applications",
and "Use my TDE fonts in GTK2 applications"; but after restarting
Firefox, the same old Sans-Serif fonts are displayed in all Firefox
menus, dialogs, etc. I also tried "Use another (GTK2) font, specifying
"Droid Serif (size 9)", but that didn't work either.
There is no GTK3 Fonts section in GTK Styles and Fonts, so I
can't explicitly tell TDE to change the GTK3 fonts.
Is there another way to tell Firefox (and other GTK apps) to use
a different font without installing all of Gnome?
First, i suggest uninstalling all gtk-qt stuff, it usually cause more
problems than its solves.
Second, do you want to change Firefox font specifically, or all gtk apps?
Because the easiest ways to deal with firefox is
chrome/userChrome.css file
in you firefox profile or "Theme Font & Size Changer" addon.
You
appear to misunderstand my request. I'm not (as much) concerned with the
content of web pages as the fonts used to display file pickers, configuration
dialogs, menus, etc., components of Firefox itself.
For all gtk apps you will have to manually create and edit config
files.
Here is the good guide to it https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GTK%2B
Thanks, I
will take a look at that.
