Hi there.
First of all, thanks to Promox Team members and their work : Proxmox VE is great !

I wonder whether it's possible to change GUI Font from PROXMOX VE ?
Sorry to tell that, but the built-in font is pretty ugly (Arial ?), and I want to change it.
Is there any CSS or conf file I may change to get that corrected ?
I know we can change the font from xterm.js, but that's not what I want. I just want to have a pretty font inside my Proxmox VE GUI.

Thanks for your answers
Best regards
 
You could always do something client side in the browser like use a greasemonkey/tampermonkey script.

Otherwise you could probably find where the files are for the UI and change them. Although personally I'd
rather use the first option.
 
Finally I looked again at the CSS.
I found the culprits : theme files, which are theme-crisp-all_1.css and theme-crisp-all_2.css.

I backed up those two theme files from /usr/share/javascript/extjs/theme-crisp/resources/
Then I replaced in that files the "helvetica, arial, verdana, sans-serif" string with "roboto" string.

It works for most of the UI, except buttons at the upper right corner, those to start/stop VMs.
For those : it's /usr/share/pve-manager/css/ext6-pve.css file you will have to change.

Simpler than Tampermonkey as long as I'm not developper. But it's dirty, I know.
It does the job anyway.
Regards !
