Your problem then is with the style definition. In my ~/.fluxbox dir, I have a ~/.fluxbox/styles, and that's where I copied in my preferred style (TDF). In styles/TDF, it mentions: toolbar.font: lucidasans-10 menu.title.Font: lucidasans-10 menu.frame.font: lucidasans-10 window.font: lucidasans-10 menuFont: lucidasans-10 titleFont: lucidasans-10 Likely, those are what you need to sort out. To do all this right, you need to copy stuff into ~/.fluxbox, then edit ~/.fluxbox/init: session.styleFile: /home/keeling/.fluxbox/styles/TDF session.menuFile: /home/keeling/.fluxbox/menu -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
