Holly,
   Wrong for me. I haven't follow this thread so maybe I'm missing
something, but I've had some font problems in the last few days since
I threw Open Office on this machine. It seems to have changed the
fonts Mozilla is using.

   In my case I have some fonts on the system:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] mark]$ ls /usr/share/fonts/
bitmap-fonts  bitstream-vera  default  fonts.cache-1  openoffice
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mark]$ ls /usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera
fonts.cache-1  VeraBI.ttf  VeraMoBd.ttf  VeraMoIt.ttf  VeraSeBd.ttf  Vera.ttf
VeraBd.ttf     VeraIt.ttf  VeraMoBI.ttf  VeraMono.ttf  VeraSe.ttf
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mark]$

but the only dropdown choices I have are serif and sans serif.

- Mark
