Custom font doesn't seem to work

[fujiwarat]

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
OS (Linux distributions, UNIX or ...): Gentoo Linux
Architecture (i386, x86_64): x86_64
IBus version: 1.2.0.20100111
Input method name and version: all
Python version: 2.6.4
dbus version: 1.2.3
dbus-python version: 0.83.0
gtk version (if bug is about gtk applications): 2.16.6
qt version (if bug is about qt applications): 4.6.0

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open the ibus-settings panel
2. Set the custom font size to 20 (or 30 or 40 or to a different family 
altogether)
3. Switch to ibus-pinyin for example and try to type anything
4. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The font for the selection window should be the selected family and the 
selected size. But instead it is still the original small-sized one.

I've found out the .gtkrc file contains the following few lines:

style "user-font"
{
       font_name="Sans Serif 7"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

commenting them out solves the problem (as a workaround). Does anyone understands gtk

configuration enough to help me out how to configure it properly? Or is it still some

bug on the ibus side?

This happens in a kubuntu 10.10 beta version, If I remove the .gtrc-2.0-kde4 file it
works fine but it looses the theme (qtcurve).

Is there any way to make this font setting take precedence ?

Great piece of soft thanks! 謝謝您

I have the same question. Kubuntu 9.10 and 10.4., all the same. Custom fonts and size
doesn't change anything for the input field. The regular input field font size is for
some hanzi to small, at least for my old eyes... Checked all I found on the net, but
nothing helped until now.
Any ideas where I could find more information, how to make that work?
Thanks!

10 hours later... ok. Some little more informations:

First I updated ibus/ibus-gtk to 1.3.8 and ibus-pinyin to 1.3.11 (and some more from
phuang1~lucid1 ppa)- didn't help

I set up a fresh fedora system instead of kubuntu, just to test it. And - it worked!
I found the config file and got back to my kubuntu.

I found out, there is the same config file changed by preferences dialog but not used
by ibus afterwards. Why? There are 2 ways to get it running:

1)
I had "qtcurve" as kde theme installed. Using KDE4 I want to use the same design with
the installed gtk applications. Ibus doesn't work with that combination! Changing to
'plastique" for example and giving gtk-apps kde's "raleigh" theme, it works! Only problem
is, that the gtk-apps are really ugggggly this way and difficult to read. So bad, that
I switched back, still having the problem with the small font in ibus.

2)
Otherwise keeping the "qtcurve" themes for kde and gtk-apps, its working this way:
If I change the kde fonts to the font I wish to see in ibus (but again, it overrides
the ibus preferences and all applications use that bigger, asian font... Nothing good,
if you are working on a western system but using ibus only for input reasons, here
pinyin).

There must be a solution somewhere. I think something, like forcing ibus to use the
wished font and font size. Anybody any idea, how to go in this direction?

the following code causes that problem:
style "user-font"
{
    font_name="Sans 9"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

comment this, the function "Custom font" works fine on Gentoo

why this restricts ibus to change font size.

I cannot reproduce your issue on Ubuntu 12.04, IBus 1.4.1
So I'd like to close this issue as Fixed.
If you still have problem, ask in ibus-user or reply here.

This is a old issue, but it still exist. If I use third-party themes for gnome, modifying .candidate-popup-content entry in gnome-shell.css file of the theme can successfully customize fonts and size of ibus panel. But if I use defautl gnome theme - adwaita, this way won't work cause there is no gnome-shell.css file for default theme for me to modify. Anyway, modifying gnome-shell.css file is just a work around way, still does't fix the actual issue.

This is a old issue, but it still exist.

I don't think your issue and this are same.
The font size is handled by gnome-shell but not IBus.

[wsxy162]

Sorry, I forgot this is a old issue when ibus had not been include in gnome desktop. So should I open another issue? And there is noway to change font size if using default gnome-shell theme, don't count on change the global font size of the desktop.
