Which means nothing. You don't specify... and since I'm not interested in
beating details out of cluebies... I *asked*.

Blackbox couldn't care less about your "desktop". Look at the
documentation for whatever application manages your "desktop" to determine
how to control its fonts. Nautilus, ROX-Filer, idesk, and others are
usually used for that purpose.
Blackbox manages windows. That's all it does. To that end, it decorates
them with a title bar and other controls.

The FAQ entry doesn't tell you to invent blackboxrc entries at random to
search for, and then whine about them not being there. It tells you exactly
what to look for to find out what style file blackbox is using, and then
what to change in that style file to alter the fonts.
It's really not a big deal, once you actually bother to read. Difficult, I
know, but you'll have to learn how someday.
