Changing the system font on SculptOS

Is there a way to change the system font to something else via configs in SculptOS? While I know about /config/managed/fonts, I have no idea how I’d add extra fonts there without modifying the fonts_fs runtime to add it as content.

If I’m not mistaken, replacing the system font face is (currently, i.e. with Sculpt 25.10) not possible without rebuilding the Sculpt image. You could locally modify fonts_fs similar to the procedure described in this article but this will only change the fonts of components that connect to this component (e.g. system_shell). The Leitzentrale itself has its own fonts_fs component (reusing /config/managed/fonts), which is part of the Sculpt image.

Nonetheless, I’m sure the current “resculpting” endeavor undertaken by @nfeske addresses this shortcoming since it will make more parts of Sculpt customizable. Stay tuned for Sculpt 26.04.
