GTK2 client font settings

Hi,

How do I alter the fonts in the GTK2 civclient?

The FAQ[1] tells me to create the file ~/.freeciv.rc-2.0, however I did
and nothing changes.

I then ran civclient through strace to see which files it tries to
open, and none of them have "freeciv.rc-2.0" in the name.  I cannot
see any file it opens which looks like a freeciv.rc file.

I assume this really is the GTK2 civclient:

$ ldd $(which civclient)
        libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0x40025000)
        libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0x401a4000)

        libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 (0x4020b000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40218000)
        libpangoxft-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0 (0x4023a000)
        libpangox-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpangox-1.0.so.0 (0x40257000)

        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x402c1000)
        libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x402c4000)
        libesd.so.0 => /usr/lib/libesd.so.0 (0x40322000)
        libaudiofile.so.0 => /usr/lib/libaudiofile.so.0 (0x40329000)
        libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x40348000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40355000)
        libXrandr.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrandr.so.2 (0x40482000)
        libXi.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 (0x40486000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x4048f000)
        libXft.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2 (0x4049d000)
        libXrender.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so.1 (0x404af000)
        libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0x404b7000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x404da000)
        libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x405b9000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
        libexpat.so.0 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 (0x40604000)

so if so, please could someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

I just would like the chat window at the bottom where it says this sort of stuff:

Welcome to the Freeciv version 1.14.0 Server running at localhost port 5556.
Turn-blocking game play: waiting on Sauron to finish turn...
Game: Stavanger may soon grow to size 6.

to be in a 14 point bold monospace font.

Andy.
