Hello, right now I am using Mint MATE 18.1 and changing fonts works. However, installing mint MATE 18.2 or 18.3 or Ubuntu Mate 17.04/17.10 MATE won’t change the font weight to BOLD. I would like to know if there is a way around? It looks very bad and thin in Panel.
I think it is because of the change from gtk2 panel in 16.04 to gtk3 panel in 17.10 in which there appears to be some kind of lock out of bold and italic fonts. Same is true for applications now built on gtk3. If you still have any gtk2 applications, you can still see bold or italic in menus and widgets.
I haven’t read anywhere about a solution.
