Running Xubuntu 16.04.1 LTS 64-bit.

Hello, I was wondering if I could just make a copy of my Appearance (specifically, font) settings because I want to be able to place the file into a LiveCD and make these settings the default on a new installation. If not that, at least I could bulk-copy it to the installations in question.Thank you in advance.

Found it! It's in ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml. Most of the settings will be set to "empty" if they haven't been changed, otherwise they'll be set to the value. For example, the DPI is set with <property name="DPI" type="int" value="96"/> under Xft, while the font is set to a string with <property name="FontName" type="string" value="Noto Sans 11"/> under Gtk.
