Help with gtkrc-2.0 and changing the default gtk+2 font size

My ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file contains the following line

include "/sw/share/themes/Glossy_P/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

which makes the menus and buttons look aqua-like. However the font size is a bit small and I would like to crank it up. Is there a straightforward way to do this.

G5 2x2.5 GHZ and a few others, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the tip. With gtk, Coot looks so much nicer now.

Here is what I have to try to get it to match OS X menus:

include "/sw/share/themes/Glossy_P/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
gtk-font-name = "LucidaGrande 15"

Even the typed letters are in this font. Great.
I wish ccp4i looks like this too.

You can run it with the aqua TCLTK if you lie to it and call /usr/bin/wish bltwish. There is not a native port of bltwish to aqua TCLTK, so you lose some graphing functionality. But if it is eye candy you seek, then give it a try...

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/wish /usr/bin/bltwish
export CCP4I_TCLTK=/usr/bin
ccp4i &
