fontList resource specifies the style of text
characters in the title area, menus and icon labels. The default font
is called fixed, a fixed-width font that does not make
adjustments for a particular character's size and shape. The fonts
available on your system are usually listed in directories under
/usr/lib/X11/fonts. You can set the
fontList resource to any basename of a font listed in the
font directories.
You can specify a font for all mwm components using the following syntax:
Mwm*fontList: font_name
You can specify a font for a particular mwm component (menu, icon or client) using the following syntax:
Mwm*menu*fontList: font_name
Remember that the size of the font affects the size of the client
window frames, icons, and menus. The fonts used by applications
managed by mwm are not affected when you set the fontList
resource.
