ImageMagick uses X resources. So perhaps try setting it either in your local ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources or in the system-global /etc/X11/app-defaults/ImageMagick something like ImageMagick: <your font spec> Note: the "ImageMagick" at the start is just a (most probably wrong) guess. You can find our which class the thing thinks it is by running xprop and clicking on a window. The colon and TAB separator are important. To find a suitable font, just run "xfontsel -print", select the font you want by narrowing, when you quit xfontsel, it will print the spec of the selected font to stdout. Not a thorough recipe, but hopefully a help towards your journey :-) regards - -- t -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlbW470ACgkQBcgs9XrR2kbJ3ACfa7jyUFKnrJdYLskp0p9i3eK9 bnEAn0Pa8F2vKvImv4joTs9tZEp8SBxk =W9S1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
