Gtk (and all the glade created interfaces) uses the settings of the PC
in which it runs.

If that PC has not the font installed and configured as Gtk default, it
will be different.

You should prepare "fluid" interfaces in Glade. Don't enable "shrink" on
buttons and labels, don't use fixed size widgets, use HBox and VBox (and
Table) to align and group your widgets, don't position them absolutely.

The interface will adapt itself to font family and size.

Bye.
