2 questions (fluxbox/file managers)
 

1. How do you modify screen fonts for fluxbox? I'm looking to use a window manager instead of KDE and presently the only one that I find half decent would be fluxbox (sorry, I'm having a tough time transitioning from windows I guess)... but I have to do something about the fonts lol.

2. What are some light weight file managers? Presently using konqueror under KDE, but I'd like something a little less fancy I guess. Just a simple file manager... no need to be a browser and image viewer, etc.

Thanks,

1) In each style file in /usr/share/fluxbox/styles/ or ~/.fluxbox/styles
Look at the files and you will see the fonts in there.
To see what fonts you can use do
xlsfonts | less
there are a bunch of them.

2) rox, gentoo, tux commander...

great, thanks for the quick reply.

Try enlightenment. The default theme is called winter and it's very lightweight and the fonts looks nice, IMHO. It's also capable of having a gnome terminal with a transparent background which always looks cool when compiling.

I am currently using rox. It's very stable & lightweight.
Might be just what your looking for.

For fluxbox, you can turn on antialiasing in the Fluxbox->Configuration menu. That helps, but overrides some default theme fonts. Most of the default themes use artwiz fonts, so make sure you have those installed as well.
You can get them at http://artwizaleczapka.sourceforge.net Unpack the tarball and follow the direcions in README.
In my experience, artwiz fonts have been a bit too small at 1280x1024, so like darthtux said, check out your theme files--it's easy to edit the theme font. You can also xfontsel to get the proper name format (eg "-some-font-*-*-*-*-*-14-*-*" etc..) Good luck.
