[SOLVED] change fonts of programs running under su

[Reurbo]

so on occasion i need to run Dolphin & Ktorrent using "kdesu ...".
the problem is that the font settings for both were set to i'd guess size 7 font.
Dolphin i was able to fix & raised it up to 9 but Ktorrent i haven't found anyway to change to font settings.
does anyone know how to do this?

Re: change fonts of programs running under su

The root (su, sudo, kdesu, kdesudo, gksudo, ...) is another user account. One way to change the root user kde settings is use the System Settings with the kdesudo et al.

kdesudo systemsettings

Fonts: System Settings > Appearance > Fonts...

Dolphin, root home (/root/), is using the root's settings

Dolphin, ordinary users home (/home/rog131/), is using the user's settings

Ktorrent (kdesudo ktorrent) is using the root's settings.
