Bad fonts in GTK applications in Kubuntu 6.10

[Basil Fowler]

Just for the record, the fonts used on the menu bars etc by Firefox 2 can be 
changed by making the adjustments to the section GTK in System settings | 
Appearance | GTK. Nothing I have done seems to affect the programs 
mentioned - I can add jscalibrator to the list.

When I changed over to Ubuntu 6.10, I kept hard disk with the previous 
Mandriva 2006.  I intend to install said disk in a repaired computer, and I 
shall try to reproduce the fault there.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions - even though nothing has worked!

Basil
