I have installed GNOME on Ubuntu, and after using it for a while, I decided to switch back to Unity. But all the fonts have changed to the standard GNOME fonts and I want to change it back to the Ubuntu fonts.

Any help?

PS: The command I used to install GNOME was sudo apt-get install gnome-shell ubuntu-gnome-desktop.

  • If you execute the command history in Terminal it should tell you the last 500 or so commands that you have typed, so you should be able to find it in there. As it would be very useful to know the command.

It appears that Gnome creates a config file called .gtkrc-2.0 in your home directory to set the font on a per-user basis. Unity seems to use this file too and ends up using Gnome's default font even after Gnome has been uninstalled. Deleting this file seems to fix the problem:

rm ~/.gtkrc-2.0
