Read the Docs if you want to know where they're stored and how to change font, but if you want an easy way to go thru and select fonts, I suggest
emerge openbox-themes
emerge obconf
and you should have a pretty large number of themes, and all you have to do to select them is go into Obconf and select "Appearance", and it will show you the change in themes interactively (no hit the Apply button and wait 10 seconds for it to reset like in Windows) ^_^
Good luck ^_^

Themes are stored in the standard locations: /usr/share/themes and ~/.themes
For menu, copy /etc/xdg/openbox/menu.xml to ~/.config/openbox
Edit with a normal text editor
For config, copy /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml to ~/.config/openbox
emerge obconf for a gui tool to handle config and switch themes
Fonts (for openbox) are set in the theme files for each individual theme (so anyone with usability issues has to edit the appropriate font settings in the right theme file) -- on the plus side, openbox does use antialiased truetype fonts ...
... and while documentation is available on the homepage, it suffers from the same ailment that afflicts most open source documentation, it is technically accurate but unorganized and unreadable ... |
