Really, after you switch to Fedora and learn to live without the straitjacket, your eyes really thank you for it. Granted, the default Fedora fonts are too big. However, once you set the font size to 10, the resolution to 96 ppi and install the freetype-freeworld package (a true jewel available from the RPM fusion repos), everything looks fantastic. Recent Ubuntu distros (Jaunty for sure) come with freetype-freeworld (which has patent issues) preinstalled, so you can enjoy the crisp fonts out of the box.

Extra dimension is for bettere legibility, indeed. Take care of your eyes, and trust the default. sorry but I can’t understand how you find the win version being better than standard linux (gtk) version.

Just one thing: in gnome 2.2, there is no ~/.gtk-2.0 file by default, so you have to create it manually. Regards. Thank Wesley for the solution ! It works perfectly !
