I can't find a way to change the size of the font used under the icons on the desktop.
I've been at it for a couple of hours, I'm now able to change just about every font side in the interface. But, alas, not the desktop icon font... -- Please help...

Re: Change desktop icon font
Hello Hugo_vH - welcome to the Linux Mint forums
This worked for me in LM17 Cinnamon:
Open a terminal, and enter the command (for an example):
press enter
Change the font name and font size number at the end of the command to suit yourself.
If you wanted to revert to the default desktop font Sans 10 - enter this command in the terminal:
press enter
