More info please. Are you wanting to change the font size? If so go to Control Center. Are you wanting to change the base font (the one with the space after the apostrophe...) can't do it. You can manager your fonts however to fix a few of the issues using (Gnome) Font Manger (I think it is called) I used this for fix a few things.

Load ttf-mscorefonts-leader (not sure this is the correct name) and that will help a lot too.

Yes I want to change the base font. I will try those things. That's pretty bad in the world of Linux that one can't customize the font and to lock something in

Don't blame Linux. This is just an issue with Deepin 2014.

I wasn't blaming Linux, I was blaming Deepin for locking the user in as if it's Winblows

Sorry, font involves copyright and we will improve in future.

In order to ensure the quality, we delete some fonts with poor quality.

That's fine and all, but that is no reason to restrict the freedom of Linux to be able to change things.

What's really missing is a simple utility, like Font Manager, to change the font style. You can already view all the fonts installed using the font Viewer.

But, yes, we do need to be able to change the font type. Better if it's built into the Control Center.
