Hello All Sorry, if my question is elementary. I have installed Persian fonts. Is there a way to configure the system to use a special font as the system default font? I can view and edit text using installed fonts, but I don't know how I can specify a font to be the default one. (For example, in desktop environments or widgets' captions.)
Best Regards Ali

You dont need to be sorry... Its better to ask questions than to remain in darkness :)

You can check /etc/sysconfig/i18n file Also, try running gnome-font-properties and see if it helps :)

Hello Mayank I tested the instructions you had mentioned. I managed to solve the problem in GNOME (Using gnome-font-properties). By the way, I modified the /etc/sysconfig/i18n file as follows:
LANG="fa_IR.UTF-8" SUPPORTED="fa_IR.UTF-8:fa_IR:fa" SYSFONT="Roya"
Is there any system-wide configuration file that can be used to store font information so that all the environments (KDE, GNOME, Xfce, ...) behave consistent with regard to font issues? For example, what is the configuration file that gnome-font-properties uses? What is the equivalent of that file in KDE or Xfce? By using gnome-font-properties, I changed all the fonts to "Roya" font and GNOME properly modified and used that font instead of all the other fonts; but KDE didn't; it still uses another font for displaying Persian text ("Homa" font).
Best Regards Ali

Try having a look at /etc/fonts/fonts.conf for all users & ~/.fonts.conf for the local user.
I hope it helps :) Regards, Makuchaku http://www.makuchaku.info
Hi Mayank Thanks for your response. I think, I should investigate more on /etc/fonts. I checked that directory. There are different subdirectories out there, and also some xml files. I am going to check those files. Thanks a lot for your guidance.

Hello Sorry, for my late response. I checked everything, but unfortunately I could not manage to solve the problem. I still do not know how to configure the X environment in order to use a special font when I use Persian (Farsi).

I am not sure how easy it is to solve this problem.
I would suggest trying to ask on fedora-fonts-list where there are some people more familiar with Arabic fonts and probably aware of this problem.
