CodeBlocks in Ubuntu XFCE

Trying out CodeBlocks in Xubuntus XFCE.

After installing the same TTF programming font I have been using in by Windows instalation of C::B my edit window looks the same in Linux as in Windows. Great.
 
However, the tree control in the Manager tab does not: in Linux there is a very high spacing between the leafs. Thats both File manager and Symbol browser. Using the same project in both installation (same screen size), the Linux install only shows me 2/3of the tree.

I feel that missing 1/3 of the information i have on Windows side is a severe impact and I would like to make the ratio better. I did not find any setting where I can change the spacing between the tree leafs. Maybe its a GTK thing, but I have not found any settings in themes etc either.

I am hoping that there are some Ubuntu/Linux users who came across the same problem. How can I solve that?

Change the global font used by your GTK+2 theme to be smaller. Or switch to another theme. If you're using GTK+3 then switch to GTK+2...

I don't think using windows' fonts is a good idea, the default linux fonts are a lot better than the windows fonts...

tigerbeard:
To change the fonts did not help with the Management view. If you can recommend a good front from the standard Ubuntu selection I am happy to check it out.

Swiching Themes did not change anything at the treeview spacing. And thats my main concern

oBFusCATed:
Can you show a screenshot? I use comic sans for my UI font in gtk+2 :)

tigerbeard:
The font is not ony the list of available fonts, so it does not seem to be part of Ubuntu default. I will search for it and check it out. Thanks.

I am trying to attach 2 screen shots windows/linux. Both on a 1920x1200 display with full screen CB. Unfortunately the linux now has no symbol browser, but the effect is the same on the Files Tab. I hope one can see clearly the difference in the amout of info on each list. On the symbol browser its more drastic of course, since often a single class could fill that space.

Hopefully the root dir listing in the Linux screenshot allows easy comparison with other Linux installations.
I would be interersted to see a screenshot of a considered good installation on that resolution of another Ubuntu XFCE installation, because this would mean there is hope to solve it by configuration somehow.
