good day,

in both the latest kde neon and kubuntu i'm using the darkine theme. for the most part i love it, but it looks like in some programs i cannot adjust the fonts to my liking. under fonts i have sett everything there to 11pt, bold, and kept the nano sans font. in dolphine looks good, but looks like that did not change fonts in various programs. please check out the below threads and you will see what i mean. any suggestions for adjusting the fonts for programs would be greatly appreciated.

System Settings >> Application Style >>Gnome Gtk Application Style

Try setting the font there. Gnome/Gtk programs don't necessarily follow KDE's settings.
You might also look at editing ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini if the font change from System Settings doesn't 'take'.

ok finally found the gtk settings, but changing there didn't do anything. now what am i suppose to do in the settings.ini? looks like the font does need to be changed there.

gtk-cursor-theme-name=breeze_cursors
gtk-font-name=Noto Sans 10
gtk-theme-name=Breeze
gtk-icon-theme-name=breeze
gtk-fallback-icon-theme=gnome
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS
gtk-menu-images=1
gtk-button-images=1
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=0

Did you close and restart the gtk program? Probably necessary, or close any before changing settings.

Mine matches what I set in System Settings, after hitting 'apply'
Code: Select all
gtk-font-name=Ubuntu Medium Italic 11


So edit it to your liking, like so:
Code: Select all
gtk-font-name=Noto Sans Bold 11

ok changed that line, saved, rebooted, tested by checking both deluge and rename my tv series and no change what so ever. i'm out of ideas since you pointed me to the two most logical places. after seeing that there was no change i checked the file again and it's the way i edited it. thanks for trying, is appreciated.
