Re: About gtk+,gnome i18n - patch included

[Sung-Hyun Nam <namsh lgic co kr>]

Hello,
OK. I think that using po file is a nonsense.
but, for the gtop, user can change the fontname via '$HOME/.gnome/gtop' 
but I cannot set my fontset in the 'gtop'. because it calls gdk_font_load().
How can I set my fontset such as:

[procview]
font_name=-misc-fixed-medium-r-*--13-*-*-*-*-60-iso8859-1,-some-kofont-*-...

For this, gdk_font_load() should check the font name.
  With my patch, gtop can display the translation message for
'Resident memory set size'.

It is an example. I hope I can change the fontname via rc file for the
all gtk+,gnome apps.

(My prev. mail rejected from the gtk-list. And I don't want to subscribe
 to the gtk-list. Sorry! I got too much mail from the gnome-list.
 So, cc: to the authors)

Best regards,

namsh
