What is the set of any font in Gnome-Tweak-Tool?

  • 772

enter image description here

I know that:

Default font-is just default
Document font-for Documents
Window title fonts is for titles.

What the others are for? What is monospace font? I only know it's a font like any font.

Hinting is for notices like the names of objects in the dock, isn't it?

    The Ubuntu Unity desktop allows fonts to be specified for a number of different display categories:

    • Application font - The font used to display text in application windows. This also changes the font used to display items such as the menus in the desktop panel.
    • Document font - Specifies the font that is to be used when displaying document text in an application.
    • Desktop font - The font used to display text under the icons on the desktop (such as folder names).
    • Window title font - The font used on the text in window titles.
    • Fixed width / Monospace font - Specifies the font to be used when the system needs to display a fixed width font. A prime example of this is the text that is rendered in a Terminal window.
    • Default font - As its name implies, the widely used font.
