If you encounter problems with entry fields being too small for text
(like www.microsoft.com) here is the fix.

Edit the file bin\res\forms.css

Search for and remove the following lines:

  font: field;
  font: list;
  font: list;
  font: button;

The issue is that Mozilla has chosen to use the OS fonts for certain
HTML elements (which I believe is wrong by the way, and have
communicated such)

On OS/2, this means that WarpSans is uses for entryfields, but if a
website like microsoft makes the entryfield smaller in pixels than
WarpSans is tall, the font doesn't get scaled down because it is not a
bitmap font.

So by removing these lines, you cause webpages to use the webpage font
for entryfields which is the correct thing to do.
