Hi Massimo,

I just copied danter's overlay file to ~/.fluxbox/overlay, and it took
care of the titlebar fonts on my 3200x1800 screen. You find attached his
file.

These configurations are for my new Dell XPS13. Since it comes installed
with Ubuntu and Gnome, I had to run fluxbox as a secondary window manager.

In the near future I will wipe out this installation to put Arch Linux
with fluxbox (as on all my other boxes). On this final installation I
will be able make some more fluxbox experiments and will be happy to share.

Best,
       Mike
