UI Font setting in Firefox and/or GTK

Hi,
I use Plasma as a desktop environment.
The menu/toolbar font in Firefox keeps being set to Roboto 11 even tho 'lxappearance' is used to customize the GTK font to something else.

Something is overriding my configuration, but I don't know if it is a daemon or an environment variable?

I had a look thru the Archlinux wiki page for GTK, eg https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GTK#Configuration_tools and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GTK#Configuration
 After modifying the various settings listed in the wiki the font change is reverted  :(

P.S. KDE fonts are fine in contrast.
The sig to end all sigs.

I'm having a similar issue with both new Artix installs.


It appears that the `lxappearance` package is not available on Artix.

You need to install artix-archlinux-support package. lxappearance is in the 'community' Arch repo, which is not available in Artix by default now.

P.S. Artix officially supports LXDE flavor and offers an installation iso, but standard LXDE tools such as lxappearance, lxinput, obconf etc. are all in the 'community' repo, which is not supported by default, which is quite weird IMO.

IIRC KDE has its own utility to configure GTK settings, hasn't it? Try to look for it in KDE settings center.

In any case, GTK settings should be stored in two files: ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini. Check the contents of those files and try to change the settings via lxappearance and look if those two files are changed.
