Customizing Fonts

On a workstations you can customize the type fonts that appear in EPIC windows and dialog boxes.

If only one user will run EPIC, any changes can be made directly in the Epic file in the /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults directory (The exact location of this directory may vary from system to system), but if there are multiple EPIC users on the system you may want to copy the Epic file to your home directory. In this file, you can change any fonts. These changes will override the app-defaults/Epic file. You can, as an option, also list any font changes in your .Xdefaults file. Any changes made in your .Xdefaults file will override both the Epic file in your home directory and the app-defaults/Epic file.

For details on changing fonts, see your System Administrator or refer to your X Windows documentation.

Listed below are the default fonts.
