Start with reading the wiki page:
http://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/wiki/Fonts

then have a look at the skin files, e.g. 'Q:\skin\Confluence Lite\720p\font.xml' and 'Q:\skin\Confluence Lite\fonts'.
https://svn.exotica.org.uk:8443/xbmc4xb ... p/Font.xml

Best to copy the skin into a new directory, e.g. 'Confluence Lite (mine)' and and change its name accordingly in Q:\skin\Confluence Lite (mine)\skin.xml (I believe that may be the name that shows in Settings screen).

Make your changes and force a reload of the skin remotely using an HTTP API call so you can see the changes (need to enable the HTTP Server in Settings > Network > Allow control of XBMC via HTTP). http://YOUR_XBOX_IP/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=ExecBuiltIn&parameter=ReloadSkin

Not a good idea to cross threads for anyone coming later to read this, but my skin knowledge is quite limited - I'm not sure what transitions you mean, probably best when asking questions about things you tried is to paste in a bit of code of what you actually tried, so others can review. The other thing is there are very few people doing skin modding these days and they might just not be around - most get subscribed to email notifications when they poste on a thread so they will get your question, you just need to wait a little longer for them to answer.
