Wrong font/icons with some software

Hi,

I changed the appearance of LXDE on a Raspberry 3. I use another font, but this font is ignored by some programs:

- Epiphany use an own font for the search/URL input and status line
- gcalculator use another font for menu entries.
- PiPackages use for all text another font
- Texmaker use for the menu another font
- Dock (shows only big icons in menu)

Also there is problem with some icons on buttons. I attached two screenshots of Epiphany as example.

It seems, that some GTK/Gnome software don't use the right font. I try to set the font also with the gnome-tweak-tool, but no changes.
Is that a problem of these programs or could I correct some settings? Is there a global setting for GTK/Gnome fonts and icons sizes?
I don't want to install the complete Gnome packages, but if there are some settings in config files, I like the vi ;-)

Thanks, Tom

- HOW did you "change" the fonts? which fonts? how are they installed?
- can you find out if this is a gtk2 vs gtk3 issue? in other words, can you find out if the apps affected are either all gtk3 or all gtk2?
- keep in mind that both installation and simple changing of fonts may require a logout/in.
