== Font Options on Fedora ==
Thew The Fedora GNOME desktop allows fonts to be specified for a number of different display categories:
* '''Application font''' - The font used to display text in application windows. This also changes the font used to display items such as the menus in the desktop panel.
* '''Document font''' - Specifies the font that is to be used when displaying document text in an application.
* '''Desktop font''' - The font used to display text under the icons on the desktop (such as folder names).'
* '''Window title font''' - The font used on the text in window titles.
* '''Fixed width font''' - Specifies the font to be used when the system needs to display fixed width font. I A prime example of this is the text that is rendered in a ''Terminal'' window.
In terms of font selection options, fonts may be specified by type (Utopia, Serif, Monospace etc), style (Regular, Bold, Italic) and size (10pt, 11pt etc).
