RE: KDE Fonts Too Large
I had this same issue until I learned how to use defoma (well, the gui for it, actually) to add fonts to the system. As it turned out I only have about 6 fonts, none of which displayed properly by default. With defoma I added all of my fonts from my MS partition as well as a bunch of .deb packages and my display is MUCH nicer. My questions are: 1. Is there a way to automate the font recognition for defoma, and/or can one remove defoma without destroying things so that XFS handles the fonts natively? 2. Why would this be a good idea/bad idea?

KDE Fonts Too Large

(Assuming you did not mean that by saying that it does not matter which desktop you use). Usually the default - theme comes with pretty big and ugly fonts, download / install / choose another one and you should be alright. At least that worked for me.

Netscape 4.77 Java Fonts too large
Using Netscape 4.77 on a Progeny-Debian (Newton)system with Gnome 1.4, I get HUGE bold fonts in Java Applets. I've created an .Xdefaults file to clean up the toolbars and fonts in the browser itself but I haven't seen anything in the Netscape.ad file that might change the default fonts in Netscapes 4.77 Java. Anyone have an idea how I might be able to set a different default font under Java or even an idea where I could look more info would be appreciated. I do most of my browsing with Opera but need Java on a couple sites and Netscape handles those very well, ewxcept for the oversized bold font. TIA
