Even when I do change fonts in Sylpheed, it only affects the message display. Things like the message list, menus, etc. use the system default font. > Raspbian uses the LXDE desckop environment.

However, I'm running Sylpheed on a Debian system, but opening it on a Windows system (using Cygwin's X server). Maybe that is the problem, although I have no trouble using the raster fonts in Xterm on the same setup. > If so, consider > these pixel-perfect reproductions of raster fonts in the TTF > format: https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/ . I've tried TTF raster fonts before, and they never work right if you don't pick _exactly_ the right size. They end up with some pixels being blurred. Stefan -- Stefan Vorkoetter http://www.stefanv.com
