Where to change font / font size in the button panel?

Hello folks,

I was a TC user and I am trying on MC for the past few days. What puzzles me a little bit is that I cannot find the right place to change the font and font size in the button panel. I did some search on this forum and it seems to me  there should be somewhere that I can tweak it. For example:

http://forum.multicommander.com/forum/index.php?topic=903.0
"Buttonpanel now possible to tweak the font and fontsize."

http://forum.multicommander.com/forum/index.php/topic,1006.msg3293.html#msg3293
"Button panel already support font change (if you edit buttonpanel.xml manually)."

Well, apparently multibuttons.xml replaces buttonpanel.xml in later versions. But anyway, even when I open multibuttons.xml I do not see any attribute related to font. So, any help here :D ?

Add it to the main tag "buttonpanel"

example

--- Code: ---<buttonpanel id="1" rows="4" cols="8" fontsize="20" fontname="Comic Sans MS" iconsize="medium">
--- End code ---

Oh wow I'm very impressed by your prompt reply... Thank you so much! Very nice work :)

Interesting.  It's good to be able to modify the appearance of individual buttons via the Button Editor but it would also be good if the font used on an individual button could also be changed via the Button Editor.

The suggestion that you can change the button fonts globally, by modifying the multibuttons.xml file interests me, but the example

illustrating a possible change does not seem to work, or, at least, not for me.

Maybe you are changing the wrong file. It must the the file located in users config folder ( type ":goconfig" on command line field) not the file under program files.
