[Solved] Change desktop font..

[baldrick.777]

Hi all,

Can someone please enlighten me as to hoe I can change the desktop font? There doesn't seem to be a setting under fonts in settings.

Cheers.

Open System Settings > Appearances > Fonts

Open System Settings > Appearances > Fonts

Thanks, but like I said, there isn't an option there for 'Desktop Font'.

Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance.

In Cinnamon (this was in LM16 Cinnamon):

This is one way -

Browse fonts from the available installed fonts -
Menu > Accessories > Font Viewer
(or go to System Settings > Fonts, click on the button next to Default Font, browse through the fonts and make a note of your chosen font's name)

Install dconf-tools from Software Manager
When installed, open Menu > All Applications > dconf-editor

In left column, click down arrows next to
org
nemo

click on desktop
In right-column, edit value on font line - click on the font line
again, click on the font line, under "Value" - enter chosen font name and size of font (in this example Liberation Sans Italic 12)
press enter





Another way if you don't want to install dconf-tools (gives the same result as above) -

Open a terminal, enter (for example):

Code: Select all

gsettings set org.nemo.desktop font 'Liberation Sans Italic 12'

press enter


With terminal method - to revert to default Sans 10 font:
Open a terminal, enter

Code: Select all

gsettings set org.nemo.desktop font 'Sans 10'

press enter

That's it. Thanks!
