Change application font

Postby wrobat » 25 Sep 2010 22:19

I tried looking around on how to change vlc's font but all that came up was how to change subtitle fonts.
I tried reinstalling vlc but I still have it in a font I can't read. I attempted to change me ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc file but the font I found didn't control vlc's main font. I went into preferences and I didn't recognize a font option.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.
I am running Crunchbang 10 Alpha 2 Vlc 1.1.3-1

had this same problem and found the fix :

Change theme away from default or GTK+ to something else (cleanwhatever) and then restart qtconfig and/or VLC et viola!
