This little howto explains how to change your font sizes on E16, to satisfy better your needs and screen types Update: the new beta versions includes now by default an optimal font size configuration Some points to consider: It is strongly suggested to configure them at the smallest size that you…

Hi, I have managed to change font and font size in Preferences->Customize Look and Feel. Great! But the font and font size of the window title is as it was, too small for me. I followed your suggestion, got to Preferences->Elementary Configuration->Fonts, I picked my preferred font and font size …

[image] muhibbij: Can you get me through changing font via terminal, in this particular case changing font and font size of Title Bar? I think I could for E16 but it's no easy thing if you want to do it. The above howto is actually enlightenment (E17-E24) oriented. The fonts in the titlebar…

[image] Thanatermesis: I think is time to make our own manual configurator for these fonts ? agreed, will start something soon. First need to be sure I'm reasoning right.
