System font settings does not apply under Ubuntu

[GoogleCodeExporter]

As I understand GUI uses fixed font. Different fonts in one window results in 
inconsistent appearance. It may also be hard to read if I set system font a 
little larger for a comfortable work at some distance from the display. Not to 
mention there are people with vision problems.

Have a such problem: main window's font size smaller than specified in 
~/.gtkrc-2.0 however font in menu and status line is right size.
transgui-2.1.1-x86_64 (version 2.0 had no problem). Screenshot attached.

Hi,

I'd like to push for a resolution on this issue.
I'm running Mandriva 2010 and the font size is just unreadable on 2.2.
I did try the .gtkrc trick with no success, and font size was not a problem 
until now. I think I ran 2.0 before updating it to current version.
Could font size be a dynamic option in future releases so that us who use 
screens of different size and under other situations can modify it accordingly?
Yes, I also did use it on my 40 inch tv from my couch until now.

Cheers for a, else, great app!

Same problem here too on 32" LCD TV. Seems that fontsize is hardcoded in 
sourcedoc main.pas to 11 and 8 for all internal uses. It is changeable in the 
code but this app is soo difficult to get compiled. Tried everything; older 
fpc/lazarus version, also selfompiled, but to no use. Hope this enhancement 
will be incorporated soon in this really great app!

Compilation after editing source file 'main.pas' and entering suitable font 
sizes worked great. You need fpc 2.4.0 and lasarus 0.9.28 as dependencies, 
maybe others.

Code:
{$ifdef darwin}
  Font.Size:=64;
{$else}
  Font.Size:=Screen.SystemFont.Size;
  if Font.Size = 0 then
    Font.Size:=56;
{$endif darwin}

sizes were 11 and 8 (ouch on a big screen)
