      I think that what you have to do is to change your .gtkrc file (fund in your

      home directory).

      In that file you will probably find something like this:
     
     >
     
      include "/usr/share/themes/Metal/gtk/gtkrc" or whatever gtk theme you have.
     
     >
     
      In that gtkrc file there should be a line like:
     
     >
     
       font = "-b&h-lucida-bold-r-normal-sans-12-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1"
     
     >
     
      or whatever font is used. Just cahnge the size to something bigger.

Thanks to you also - this worked well, too!!! Now I can choose :) (this
will be difficult...)

Just - for anyone trying this and not figuring whats going wrong - I did
not have a ~/.gtkrc (am not such a window fan - prefer console stuff,
therefor I dont even have a 'real' gtk install) - simply copy the
style you want from /etc/gtk/gtkrc.* and edit it as appropriate...

      The above could also be in your .gtkrc without the reference to a theme.
