Is it possible to change Unity Panel fonts or font size?

Is it possible to change the font or at least the font size of text in Unity's indicator panel (for things like the clock and system indicator monitor) without changing Application Font size from the Appearance Preferences > Fonts settings? I'm using a small monitor and I'd like just a wee bit more space for the global applications menu.


Solution 1:

This not the best way as it involves changing the size for all applications, but it's the only way I know.

  • Press Alt + F2 and type gnome-appearance-properties.
  • Start the Appearance Preferences application from the search result.
  • Go to the Fonts tab.
  • Change the Application Fonts font settings.

Solution 2:

MyUnity

Install via the software center

In the Fonts section of MyUnity, you can set the System, Desktop, and Window Title fonts to configure this.
