It might be worth dropping back to GTK 2.16.x, since the 2.18 series broke
the ms-windows theme engine. I tend to drop a file in
$install_dir/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc

containing:

gtk-theme-name="MS-Windows"

That helps the apps look more native, but it turns out that this gives
problems / doesn't work on the 2.18.x series. (2.18.3 onwards forcibly
disable the theme engine in code, so just look non-themed. Up to 2.18.2,
there is breakage with that theme).

Best wishes,

Peter C.

There happens to be such a file already present in the directory you
mention.

Removing it doesn't solve the problem I encounter.

Maybe this can be related to other apps on my machine having gtk
dependencies installed.

Maybe some of those apps installed a global resource link pointing in the
wrong direction, maybe to a font file gschem doesn't recognise/know what to
with.

Anyway, this all may or may not be related to gschem, I dunno how to figure
that one out (yet).

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.
