Empathy chat windows ignore GNOME font sizes

[Guilherme Gondim (semente)]

Binary package hint: empathy

The font size in Empathy chat windows is bigger than configured in GNOME. The problem occurs in ALL themes, not only in theme I use in the screenshot attached.

[Guilherme Gondim (semente) (semente)]

I think is related to GTK Webkit support because I have the same problem in Gwibber. Empathy (now) and Gwibber uses Webkit to render messages.

Note: The version of my Ubuntu is Karmic Koala.

Thank you for your bug report, do you get the issue with the standard theme which doesn't use webkit?

[Mattatron (matt-u6)]

Yes, it affects all themes.

[Guilherme Gondim (semente) (semente)]

Now the default themes don't have the problem. Those themes who use Webkit still continue with the problem.

The Adium theme Rekoo Naked seems to work fine. http://www.adiumxtras.com/index.php?a=xtras&xtra_id=2160

@Guilherme Gondim Do you still face this?

[Mike Chelen (mchelen)]

The default "Ubuntu" theme still has a strange font size in chat windows. These themes had proper font size:
Clean, Simple, Blue, Classic.
Tested with Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 3, Empathy 2.29.91.2

@Mike that would be bug#531835

[Mike Chelen (mchelen)]

@Omer Ah yes that looks more accurate, thanks!

[Guilherme Gondim (semente) (semente)]

@Omer, sorry for delay. Now works for me! Thanks!

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

marking fixed as per last comment. Thanks Guilherme
