gkrellm uses gtk1, by any chance?

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2003-10-22 15:33:24 UTC
No, it uses gtk2. Hm.

Comment 4 Nakai 2003-10-23 07:12:40 UTC
gkrellm still has gtk 1.2 style XLFD setting dialog, so it is supposed to
using gdk_font_load/gdk_fontset_load code inside, and not well ported to
pango.

Comment 5 Nakai 2004-03-11 12:01:54 UTC
Still not fixed in Fedora Core 2 test1

Comment 7 Warren Togami 2004-06-01 09:20:11 UTC
Please try gkrellm-2.2.0-1 from rawhide tomorrow.  It now uses pango
to render text, so this should theoretically be fixed.  CLOSE or
REOPEN after you have tested.

The upstream source code works for me.
date format is still wrong but this is another issue

Comment 9 Nakai 2004-06-01 15:47:12 UTC
Confirmed with gkrellm-2.2.0-1.
Thank you!
