Can you change the font and font size via commands on Deepin?
I am a user of UnionTech OS, which is based on Deepin.
I cannot change the font and font size via commands on UnionTech OS.

Change the font and size IN WHAT on Deepin? The terminal, the desktop, GUI a specific application, are all different cases.
That said: generally if you change it in a terminal by using the command line it probably change it ONLY in that terminal and ONLY in that session.

What are you really trying to do here?

Change the font and font size on the built-in file manager, i.e. dde-file-manager.
These font and font size also apply to the desktop items.

Code:

Matthew_Wai@My-PC:~$ apt policy dde-file-manager
dde-file-manager:
  Installed: 5.7.5-1
  Candidate: 5.7.5-1
  Version table:
 *** 5.7.5-1 500
        500 https://home-packages.chinauos.com/home plum/main amd64 Packages
        100 /usr/lib/dpkg-db/status
Matthew_Wai@My-PC:~$

I want to change the font and font size via commands instead of the built-in GUI.

Scroll down to post #2 there. If I understood correctly, the member advised me to ask a question on this Deepin sub-forum.

You ought to click on report and ask moderators to move the thread. That is a better solution.
