Hi,
I installed both KDE and GNOME on leap 15, but I am unable to get “Roboto Medium” font to be rendered as medium. In the attached screenshot, even though I have Medium weight (tested with Black as well) selected, gnome always renders Normal variant. However, all Qt applications are respecting my Roboto Medium settings (configured via KDE settings).
Please help me fix the font rendering issue. My GTK3 config in
~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
:
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=false
gtk-button-images=1
gtk-cursor-theme-name=DMZ-Black
gtk-fallback-icon-theme=breeze-dark
gtk-font-name=Roboto Medium 12
gtk-icon-theme-name=breeze
gtk-menu-images=1
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=0
gtk-theme-name=Breeze
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS

As you can see in the attached screenshot, in the left I have a Qt application (Dolphin) and to the right is Gnome-Tweaks running under Gnome desktop.
GTK applications even in KDE are not respecting my font settings.
I see no difference in the font rendering in GTK even when I select Roboto Black. Please help me find the root cause and fix it.
On the KDE end look at:
Menu->Settings->Configure Desktop
Click Application Style
Third selection down in the left column is GNOME Application Style (GTK)
My export|grep gtk also points at a ~/.gtkrc-2.0. (Yeah, I know GTK+2, but worth making sure the font in there matches the one in your INI.)
If that doesn’t help, it is as far as my Google foo got me, but you peaked my curiosity about fonts.
Anyway, I got the first part from the link below, which states:
If running KDE Plasma, install kde-gtk-config and either run it from the command line, or go to System Settings > Application Style > GNOME Application Style (GTK). Fonts, icon themes, cursors, and widget styles set in System Settings outside of the GTK configuration module will affect Qt only; GTK settings should be set manually using the previously mentioned module.
That is really badly worded. so I had to do some interpretation, and it maybe wrong.

Good luck.
Sorry for the late response, I wasnt notified of replies.
My issue is not just with GTK apps in KDE, but a more fundamental GTK apps in Gnome. They just cant render font style at all. Only default style is being rendered everytime. This is definitely a bug. Should I report it to gnome or opensuse ? See more screenshots in gnome env
