  • [gentoo-user] Clock font in "xfce-base/xfce4-panel" version 4.17.4

    From Dr Rainer Woitok@21:1/5 to All on Tue Nov 29 17:10:01 2022
    Greetings,

    after upgrading "xfce-base/xfce4-panel" from version 4.17.3 to 4.17.4 my digital clock uses a tiny font which I cannot change. Whatever font and
    font size I select in its "Property" dialog is ignored. It stubbornly
    stays with "Sans Regular 8 px".

    Searching the web did not turn up anything relevant and new. Is anybody
    else using the digital clock in "xfce4-panel"?

    Sincerely,
    Rainer

    I am using the digital clock as well and also noticed that it had changed
    its font recently. However I could change it back to my preferred font without problem, simply via right click -> Properties -> Font.
    Maybe just try and change it manually by editing the config in ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml?
    It might be necessary to do so when logged out of xfce, or it might
    overwrite the config again.

    cheers
    Holger

    OMG: I simply ignored the "Select" button in the upper right corner and
    always just clicked on the "Close" button in the lower right corner :-(
