I mean, "Arial 10" instead of > -misc-arial-*-*-....*-iso8859-1 Yes, you can. From my style file: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/src/blackbox% grep font `cat ~/.blackboxrc | grep styleFile | cut -f 2 -d:` *font: Bitstream Vera Sans-9 menu.title.font: Bitstream Vera Sans-9:style=Bold window.font: Bitstream Vera Sans-9:style=Bold Of course, this style file won't work for someone that's not using Xft. -- Bradley T.
