Hi,

can anybody tell me, what font is used by gitview in the diff pane and how
to configure it? I did not use gitview for some time and cannot say, when
this started, but currently I get some kind of strange script font that is
hardly readable. I am normally working in a KDE4 environment.

Thanks,
Jörg

I can't tell you about gitview, but since you're using KDE -- there is a nice
Qt-based git viewer called qgit.

Ping. Anyone? I face the same unreadable font in Eclipse's Javadoc View for
all mono-spaced elements. Where is this system font coming from?

To me, it looks very much like Luxi Mono. Luxi is also the last font I
find referenced in `strace gitview`. Look for it in
media-fonts/font-bh-ttf. Don't forget the X use flag (maybe).

Hope this helps,
