I am a newbie to DSL and just amazed by its power and beauty. Thanks to the developers!

I gonna ask a question which is asked by some one before. No answer is found..

I tried to customized the fonts everywhere. By modifying fluxbox's configure file (init) and style file, I changed the font of xterm, toolbar and popup menu. By .Xdefaults, I modified the icon's font.

However, when it comes to the MENU and/or DIALOG of programs ( such as firefox and beaver), I cannot find the way. Since the font of those menus of different apps are just the same, I suppose there should be a default setting. But where is it? Could any body please gimme a hint?

Btw, I installed lftp with the apt-get. But the version is a bit outdated. Is there any way to install a newer version?

I'd look at either .gtkrc or each application's individual settings. It's most likely going to be .gtkrc, though. Some gtk themes affect only colors and the look of widgets, but i assume you can also change fonts with them. Themes are available at freshmeat.net
