Maybe the Chinese font has Latin characters that have somehow become the default. I've received email with large line-drawing-style characters, and I believe those have come from people using a big5 charset. You can force iceweasel/icedove to use a specific font with something like the following in <profile>/chrome/userChrome.css: treechildren { font-family: Nimbus Sans L !important; font-size: 14px !important; } That *should* set the font for everything -- menus, pages, dialogs -- but I'm not positive. Unfortunately, the last I looked Mozilla's chrome was essentially undocumented. -- Michael A.
