    How to customize font of gnome-shell

    In Fedora 21, I can easily customize the font of gnome-shell by editing the gnome-shell.css file. But in Fedora 22, this file disappears.
    I found gnome-classic.css but the syntax is different.
    Cound anyone help me?
    Thanks!

    Re: How to customize font of gnome-shell

    I think Gnome switched to SASS and some kind of compiled CSS gizmo for 3.16, so the actual CSS file is gone. I'll guess you need Gnome builder tools to edit the default theme.

    However, Gnome Tweak Tool will let you change the font from the default Cantarell.

    Gnome Tweak Tool can only change the font of some items. It cannot change the font for whole UI.

    You might be able to do that by creating a custom local.conf file in /etc/fonts, specifying the appropriate font substitutions. That's a bit of work, though, especially not knowing if Gnome will pay any attention.

    Thanks! It works! But just font style, what about font size?
