Sorry, if my question is elementary.

there a way to configure the system to use a special font as the system default font? I can view and edit text using installed fonts, but I don't know how I can specify a font to be the default one. (For example, in desktop environments or widgets' captions.)

You can check /etc/sysconfig/i18n file Also, try running gnome-font-properties and see if it helps :) Regards, Makuchaku http://www.makuchaku.info/blog -- Fedora-i18n-list mailing list Fedora-i18n-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-i18n-list

Try having a look at /etc/fonts/fonts.conf for all users & ~/.fonts.conf for the local user.
