Installed Mint 14 RC and like it. But can't locate where to change desktop icon labels to a smaller font.
I believe I formerly did this by right-clicking the desktop and proceeding from there. Also saw instructions to do this: Menu > Preferences > Appearance > Fonts.
But neither approach is available in Mint 14 RC. Suggestions?
Thanks.

Re: Mint 14: Change desktop icon text size
I install dconf-tools and in dconf-editor clicked on the field under 'org - nemo -desktop - font'. You can specify a font here, but if you leave it empty with the field title (font) in bold, it seems to pick up the default font set in Cinnamon preferences. Don't ask me how, it just seems to work for me.
