Hi everybody, many thanks to the team bringing CDE to the Linux world! As an ordinary user without many admin or programming experiences I had success in compiling 2.2.1 on Debian Wheezy, AMD64. Besides the known problems everything's running fine and really stable!
Now I try to get back the look and feel of my old Solaris-X86, and I'm close by. But there are issues concerning the fonts: I've spent days in searching where to change for example the title bar font from serif to non serif. I changed the dt.resources in ~/.dt/sessions/current and /home, the sys.font in /usr/dt/config/de_DE.ISO8859-1 and /usr/dt/config/C/ - nothing happens after reload or restart X.
In dtstyle I'm only allowed to change the content of the windows but not the surface as such. I'm not that familiar with the relation between X11 and CDE but xlsfont/xfontsel are telling me that the chosen font is known.
I would appreciate any help! Thanks in advance! Fausto

may I ask what you changed the fonts to?
Got it. After a complete reboot the ~/.dt/sessions/home/dt.resources and also the system wide config were read correctly.
The default fonts are a bit ugly. How might I switch them to something more palatable, like Helvetica? Thanks :D
I recently compile CDE on debian 9.8. The fonts are ugly :O

Does anyone knows how to fix it ?
Is there a project to have anti-aliased font ?
On Solaris 9, the font selector is a bit different, did Sun redevelop one ?
