How can I change the default fonts?

I've been looking for a setting to do it and I cannot find one:

I still use old Puppys and not the newest but this is how I understand it works:
1. JWM themes - These are pre-set themes which dictates how things (colours, type of font, size of fonts) of the taskbar and menus looks like. You can also create your own theme to set your own colours, fonts, etc. for these items.
2. GTK themes - This dictates the appearance INSIDE JWM windows (which font, size, colours etc.)
3. Global font size - this changes the global, default, system font size (dot per inch for the screen).

The desktop fonts you can changed using the options in Rox-filler.
Right click on the name of one of the desktop icons.
right click menu Select Rox-filler->Options->Pinboard->select Use custom font
Click on the font name selection input slot to get font options.

The color of desktop fonts is also under the Pinboard.
Forground is the font color.

How do I change the window title font to be BOLD? in the theme file at /root/.jwm/themes, I tried changing <Font>Sans-11</Font> into <Font>Sans Bold-11</Font> but it doesn`t work

@bob93 :-

Try changing it from

Code: Select all

<Font>Sans Bold-11</Font>

.....to read:-

Code: Select all

<Font>Sans-11:bold</Font>

The XML layout is <Font>Fontname(dash)size(colon)bold[optional](colon)italic[optional]</Font>.

Fontname is always followed by "-size". Separators are always colons in jwmrc-theme, and parameters (bold or italic) always start with a small letter. Hope that clarifies things somewhat; it CAN get a bit confusing...

For FP64, launch geany ~/.Xdefaults, then look for the line similar and edit: urxvt.font: xft:Ubuntu Mono:style=Regular:pixelsize=18:antialias=true:hinting=true
restart by xrdb ~/.Xdefaults on terminal and reopen urxvt or reboot.

What if the font name has two or more words in it? e.g. Lucida Grande
I tried this

Code: Select all

<Font>Lucida Grande-11:bold</Font>

is that syntax correct?
