Hello, I would want to know how I can change the fonts of GTK apps in e17, cause it looks really ugly compared with gnome...

And this my e17 desktop:

can i be honest?!
imo the fonts in e17 are looking better than on the gnome-shot!
the fonts in gnome are blurred and letters like the "m" look like i'm squinting.
this is my /etc/fonts/local.conf:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<!-- Info at http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xorg_and_Fonts -->

<match target="pattern" name="family">
<test name="family" qual="any">

</test>
<edit name="family" mode="assign">
<!-- Other choices - Courier New, Luxi Mono -->
<string>Bitstream Vera Sans Mono</string>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font">

<!-- Disable autohint for bold fonts, otherwise they look *too* bold -->
<match target="font">

</edit>
</match>
<!-- Reject bitmap fonts in favour of Truetype, Postscript, etc. -->
<selectfont>

</fontconfig>
