I don't see a difference, although Openbox does manage fonts differently to my knowledge. They should be anti-aliased and all that. You can select default fonts and stuff in the rc.xml file or with obconf (graphical openbox configuration tool). You can choose the font, set size, etc. Maybe take a look at this thread on the #! forum: http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=176320 (Crunchbang, #!, is a little distro that is basically Debian with Openbox as default WM). > > Now, about Sawfish... > > I just tried Sawfish last night, and was unable to get past the black > screen.

How do you > begin operating Sawfish? Hmmm....middle click should give you a menu, at least, from which you should be able to find the keybindings configuration tool and see the default bindings. I haven't used it in a good long while, and don't currently have it installed.
