Re: How to change the default font sizes

[Daniel Santos]

I remembered I was changing the display size in xorg.conf. Now gtk fonts 
  are too small. I compiled the preferences app, and fiddled with the 
fonts. But the helvetica font that comes with gnustep is not on the 
list. Can I add that font path to the tool font search path?
