BatteryBar font
Clicking on the font name box will allow you to choose the font type, size, and style. The name and size of the selected font will be displayed in the box in the font type and size that was selected.
This is the default font that is used in the Default Theme or any themes that don't explicitly state the preferred font. Themes have the option of overriding the default font by specifying the font within the theme.xml file. In that case, this option will have no effect.
