I'm using Mozilla 1.0.0 from a .mozilla generated with 1.5, so that might have screwed things up on my end. Thanks in advance. My experience is in order to get fonts right you start out with a new .mozilla dir, i.e. wipe out the old one and let him begin anew, unless you have a dir that works right. What is shown depends on whether you have TTF enabled or not and other factors that only the cognoscendi are familiar with ;-) Hugo. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Mine were all set to the same thing (andale mono) because of versioning problems, and I wanted to know what Mozilla's defaults were. I moved my .mozilla and started it up again, looked at the font configuration, then copied my .mozilla back and set the same options.

Ensure that the path where you installed the fonts are listed in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf Also, KDE apps take fonts from ~/.kde/share/fonts This is correct. Your answer helped me to find the solution to the first problem (where the default display font for Mozilla is set): /etc/fonts/fonts.conf makes, e.g., Bitstream Vera Sans Mono the preferred synonym for monospace: alias familymonospace/family prefer familyBitstream Vera Sans Mono/family familyAndale Mono/family familyCourier New/family familyLuxi Mono/family familyNimbus Mono L/family familyKochi Gothic/family familyAR PL KaitiM GB/family familyBaekmuk Dotum/family /prefer /alias So, I suppose that if you don´t have Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Andale Mono will be chosen, etc. This can be overridden by /etc/fonts/local.conf. When I put in there: alias familymonospace/family preferfamilyCourier New/family/prefer /alias Moz´s default monospace font became, indeed, Courier New. This is very neat but not every application uses this. The second problem was the Mozilla print font. From a strings on the mozilla file libgfxps.so I gather that Times-Roman, Helvetica, and Courier are hard-wired into the Mozilla Postscript module. If this is so then we can forget about changing the print font easily. It seems that xprint can be used instead of the default Postscript module, and can produce prints as displayed. That seems even neater but so far I´ve not been able to get xprint to work. It says it starts; when I re-start it, it says it´s already running; but it does not show up with ps. Fonts seem very mysterious indeed. I wish I could find a way to produce better fonts with gtk1 apps.. for qt apps there is a program called qtconfig that works very well, but something like that for gtk apps does not seem to exist.

1. I can't find anything that controls the fonts used in the browser

displayed pages too, for example as the value of a button (e.g., Go
To Download Page button on the bottom of Debian package pages).
The font I'm getting is not too legible.
Fonts in the menu bar and menus are controlled by your gtk theme.
Either change it with the Gnome Control Center or since you are using
KDE, edit ~/.gtkrc. Mine has:
style user-font
{
fontset=-ttf-times new roman-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1
}
widget_class * style user-font
Individually the fonts for the different widgets can be individually
controlled with userChrome.css, but that is more complicated.
Beautiful! That's what I needed. I have slightly different names and
intentions:
-monotype-times new roman-medium-r-normal-*-15-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
Thanks. That's *much* better.

3. enabling_truetype.html in the package documentation describes how
to enable true type, but I think one of the Debian preferences already
has it enabled. At any rate I edited the indicated file, and it's
definitely working now. I'm not sure what order all the *.js files
gets parsed, or if the first or last setting of an option wins.
Anybody know?
I think the order is mozilla's internal *.js - /etc/mozilla/prefs.js -
prefs.js in profile - user.js in profile with later files' preferences
overriding any preferences that were set earlier, but I could be wrong.
P.S. The Mozilla docs refer to user.js for preferences, but there
doesn't seem to be any such file. I've just been editing prefs.js.
user.js can be created in the same directory as prefs.js. The
advantages to user.js are that mozilla never writes to it so it can be
edited with mozilla open and also since mozilla doesn't write to it it
is much more manageable since it has less preferences in it than
prefs.js. The disadvantage is that deleting a preference from user.js
probably won't actually delete it since mozilla has probably added the
preference to prefs.js so you instead have to change the value or remove
it from prefs.js as well.

Re: mozilla fonts giant-sized
Despite my having done nothing, appearance is back to normal. (I did lots of things yesterday, but none of them had any effect. I've since shut down and restarted the computer. I also forgot to mention that immediately before the unpleasantness I installed realplayer.) Weird.

Now when I start it the controls are absolutely enormous: for example, 3 lines of a drop down menu fills the screen, and the window is many times wider than my monitor. Shortly before this I set my default home page to blank. I also logged off and shut the system down with mozilla running. I've also noticed it starts quite slowly, and appears to have some conflict with squeak (over sound?) so that sometimes I must close squeak to get mozilla to launch. Has anyone experienced similar problems, or have any suggestions for fixing them? I tried to manipulate the preferences, but because of the sizes I wasn't' successful. Thanks.
