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.

    I was asking about FVWM-Crystal, which I thought was a desktop environment (albeit a very basic one).

    Also,

    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.

    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.
