Since MyUnity isn’t available yet in Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal i though i’d write a quick update to my previous post which isn’t working on Ubuntu 12.10.
The process is fairly simple, just run the command below and adjust them to whatever your preferred settings are.
Just keep in mind to double-check that the fonts you’re using are indeed install. Otherwise you’ll end up in a world of hurt when you reboot.
gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.desktop font "Ubuntu 10"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences titlebar-font "Ubuntu Bold 10"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface document-font-name "Ubuntu 10"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name "Ubuntu 10"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name "Ubuntu Mono 11"
Great tip! The default font size is really ruge!
Now I don’t need MyUnity to make this change.
Thanks, much useful it is.. btw, where do I get such settings commands? I mean is there any documentation provided by Ubuntu?
Cool! Cheers matey
thanksa million, been searching for exactly this “even changed “desktop” because standard fonts were so poor
Thumbs up!
This is a great tip. Will store for future use.
