I have just set up a Raspberry Pi 3B+ with Raspbian “Bookworm”, and I have decided that the classic desktop environment, FVWM-Crystal, is the one that feels right. However, I don’t seem to be able to change the font.
Ordinarily, you would use the font selector dialog, but for some unknown reason it refuses to launch and I am unable to find it under /usr/bin, so I can’t find out what’s wrong.
Does anyone know either how to fix the dialog, how to find the binary, or how to change the font without using the dialog?
I understand that this is a very old DE, so if you can tell me about a newer alternative that looks the same and is equally lightweight, I’m all ears. Otherwise, please leave me to my madness.

FVWM is not a desktop but a window manager. Why are you using something so old? There are tons of better window managers.
Anyway, I did find this: https://www.fvwm.org/Wiki/Config/Fonts/
I was asking about FVWM-Crystal, which I thought was a desktop environment (albeit a very basic one).
Also,

As it happens, though, I abandoned the idea due to the lack of any particularly nice themes. I’m now running dwm (with patches) on that machine, and I’m considering buying a RPi 5 and using something like Qtile.
Damn, I guess no-one uses FVWM anymore.
Yeah that’s a fair statement. It is a bit before my time
