Hey Jim, thanks for the "Cleanup".
I was kinda in a rush when I posted my question...

If "Sans" is showing in the FontSelectionDialog as the default selected font, how come I can't seem to find it?

I've checked this location, including all subdirs:

Code:

> ls -l /usr/share/fonts
total 232
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 90112 May 11  2011 100dpi
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 94208 May 11  2011 75dpi
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 May 11  2011 cyrillic
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root  4096 May 11  2011 encodings
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 20480 May 11  2011 misc
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 May 11  2011 Speedo
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 Jul 24 15:55 truetype
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 May 11  2011 Type1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    20 Oct  4  2012 URW -> ../ghostscript/fonts
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 May 11  2011 util

There are plenty of fonts with 'Sans' in their title but nothing that's called just "Sans"... Any ideas?

EDIT:
Ok, so I just found this in my Gtk2 documentation:

Code:

The "font-name" property

   "font-name"                gchar*                : Read / Write The string that represents this font.
 Default value: "Sans 10"

As you can see it says the Default value is "Sans 10" but I can't find that anywhere....?

Thanks,
Matt
