I think those styles were probably adapted from blackbox, hence the bsetroot.

If you want to add font defs to a style, then you can. If you're new
to editing fb styles then I suggest opening up a couple of terminals
and copying/pasting different parts that you think you might like.  I
definitely wouldn't expect styles (even "default" styles) to have
everything laid out "the right way", especially those you've
downloaded from freshmeat. If you don't have the necessary fonts you
can add them by placing them in a font dir and running the appropriate
commands (fc-cache, mkfontdir, mkfontscale, etc.) Not sure if you want
them system wide or local to your user.

You can expect things with fluxbox to change, especially since the
"stable" version is very old and not recommended for use, and the
recommended version is the "development", which of course is subject
to change without notice :)

Good luck!
