Is the login screen produced by gdm (uses GTK+) or kdm (uses Qt) or xdm (uses X)? > Firefox uses it in its menus and tabs. Firefox does not use X directly; it uses GTK+ instead. Make a file called .gtkrc-2.0 in your home directory with the following content: gtk-font-name = "Sans 11" Change the font value accordingly. > Anyway, how do I change it (or at least make it smaller)? Make a file called .Xdefaults in your home directory with the following content: ! see "font5" in /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm *font: -*-terminus-*-r-*-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* To determine the best value for the "*font" key, run xfontsel and play with the various parameters. Finally, ensure that your .xinitrc loads your .Xdefaults file with this command: xrdb ~/.Xdefaults New X programs should now respect your changes. > I have been searching for "XWindows default fonts" in google for > hours. Try "xdefaults".
