really crazy: firefox become unusable
I use sarge, firefox went wrong today, font used by its menu and status bar are so big that most of screen space are occupied by status bar and menu. I can't find anyway to config it. So I reinstall sarge. And the problem persist! Be a better sports nut! Let your teams follow you with Yahoo Mobile.

I find the cause. It's ttf-arphic-gbsn00lp. It's a Chinese fonts package. After removing and purging it, the firefox is OK. Could anyone explain it? I have used the fonts package for a long time. It has been OK, but why does it cause problem NOW? --- Serena Cantor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I use sarge, firefox went wrong today, font used by its menu and status bar are so big that most of screen space are occupied by status bar and menu.

Most likely, this means that something has messed system dpi setting. So I reinstall sarge. And the problem persist! Reinstall? To solve software issues in Linux?

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.

Thanks! I modify userChrome.css:
* {font-size:1pt !important
}
I can use firefox now, but its look and feel(fonts) is not as good as before.
