I am writing a GTK application for an Embedded touch screen terminal.

I want to know how I can setup the global font that my application will use.

For chinese I use one TTF and others for different locales.

Thanks

Setting the default font for an application is usually handled through the themes. You should also use resource files to set it dynamically.

In a resource file..

style "force_font" {
font_name = "Sans Italic 18"
}

class "GtkWidget" style "force_font"
