I would like to change the font size of the JWM menu so that when I right mouse click and see the menu, I want the menu to be different. I can't remember how to do this. I went into the jwmrc file and can't see where to change it.

It's explained here
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://joewing.net/projects/jwm/fonts.shtml"
linktext was:"http://joewing.net/projects/jwm/fonts.shtml"
====================================
and you can inspect the config files of the various preinstalled themes to see usage examples.
To view the fonts available on your system, you can use the"xfontsel" program/

If you look in the theme file you're using , under the menu entry , just pick a larger font.
<MenuStyle>
<Font>Terminus Bold-14</Font>
<Foreground>black</Foreground>
<Background>#DEB887</Background>
<ActiveForeground>white</ActiveForeground>
<ActiveBackground>#DEB887:#6F4E37</ActiveBackground>
</MenuStyle>
In this example the font is pretty big at 14 , most are 12 that you normally see.
This makes the fly-out menu taller also to match the larger font size.
I like larger font sizes , as my eyes are not getting any younger.
Experiment with all the font sizes , it really changes the overall look of the desktop.
Hope this helps.

You're welcome , I'm just glad I had the answer for"someone" for a change.
I've gotten so much from this forum , I'd like to give back in some way.
I'm trying to get well knowledged on JWM and then I'll try IceWM after that.
