The first fluxbox run generates and populates a ~/.fluxbox directory.

Changing the style file is done in your ~/.fluxbox/init file.

Increasing font size is done in your ~/.fluxbox/overlay file.

The ~/.fluxbox/slitlist file is empty by default.

The arch, bloe, carp, green_tea, and ostrich styles use the tahoma font.

The BlueFlux style uses Andale-10.

bash-4.3$ mkdir -p ~/.local/share/fonts/TTF

The following Fontconfig setting (taken from infinality.net)
is recommended. Put it in /etc/fonts/local.conf or
~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf:


<match target="font" >
<edit name="embeddedbitmap" mode="assign">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
bash-4.3$

The Meta style uses the glisp font.

The LemonSpace style uses the gelly and glisp fonts.
