Fonts

[Eion Robb]

Hi David,

Have you had any success with using the Pidgin GTK+ Theme Control plugin?
It allows you to specify fonts for a lot of things including the 'GTK+
Interface Font'.  You can find it in Tools->Plugins.

The logging one does require a programming change, although it does sound
like you close messaging windows a lot if you've only got one message per
conversation - changing the 'Close IMs immediately when the tab is closed'
setting in Tools->Preferences->Conversations might help with that.
Alternatively you can use the SQLite Logging plugin which has an option to
display in the 'View Log' window broken down by day, rather than by
conversation.

Cheers,
Eion
