  GTK. To change this font you need to edit your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file. If you need
  help you can see our example .gtkrc-2.0 (http://gaim.sf.net/gtkrc-2.0) file.
  On Windows, this file is located at C:\Documents and Settings\username
  \.themes\Default\gtk-2.0\gtkrc.

  You can also just switch to a different GTK theme. You can find GTK themes
  (and information on using them) by visiting themes.freshmeat.net,
  art.gnome.org, or searching on Google.

  If you're having a problem with the font size used by a specific person, you
  can try turning on the Ignore Font Sizes preference in Preferences->Message

  meant to be the same for all instances of the application, the other is meant
  to be unique to that instance of the application. ICCCM also states "If a
  client has multiple windows with identical WM_CLASS and WM_NAME properties,
  then it should provide a WM_WINDOW_ROLE property."

  Gtk+ sets these WM_CLASS values for us so that they are unique for Gaim
  instances, and the documentation for the gtk_window_set_wmclass function says
  explicitly not to use it for anything else. Gaim uses the WM_WINDOW_ROLE hint
  to differentiate windows. If your window manager is having problems
  differentiating between Gaim windows, please ensure that it uses the
  WM_WINDOW_ROLE hint per the ICCCM.
