these settings don't change the fontsize for the desktop itself, but for the windows on it.

found under: right click the desktop, choose Desktop Preferences > Advanced tab > Font of label text (slightly misleading?).

but how about the iconsize?

/preferences>display
who would have thought that this setting in pcmanfm (size of big icons) adjusts the desktop and that size of small icons does indeed change the preview (in pcmanfm).

searching throug the links at the top of the forum (under    LXDE articles in our magazine) I downloaded and read the LXDE-part of Gtk-Xfce-LXDE-SE.pdf and this explained a lot of what's going on.
