When you figure out that one let me know!  I nearly can't read the
post
subjects or tell when a group has new posts.  I'm getting serious
eyestrain.

I got the font to be readable in the whole interface by adding code
to my
userChrome.css file in the profile in the subdirectory "chrome".  The
first
line in that file has to be the namespace line.

/* Do not remove the @namespace line -- it's required for correct
functioning */
@namespace
url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul";);
 /* set default namespace to XUL */

/* Fonts */
window,page,dialog,menu,wizard,prefwindow,tab,statusbar,toolbar,textbox,button



{
   font-size: 15px !important;
   font-family: Trebuchet MS !important;
}

More info about userChrome.css here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css

I looked for this file and can't even find the chrome directory.  It is
not under the Mozilla folder.  I found userChrome.css under a
Thunderbird directory, but they say not to use that one.

Rickman, userChrome.css if a text file that tells SeaMonkey specific
stuff
that you want to do. Natively, SM does not have a userChrome.css file,
but
you should find a userChrome-example.css file. Just rename it to
userChrome.css, add the css that you want a start SM, and you should
be on
your way!

Hope this helps.


Yes, I was able to find it, made the suggested edits and that seems to
work.  Thanks.

But this seems to be a rather blunt instrument.  It would appear to be
adjusting the thickness of the font strokes and only indirectly the
size. Using the suggested 15px makes the text both larger but also
bolder so that it is hard to distinguish from bold text.  Changing the
value to 14px made the type the same size it had originally been, but
still very bold.  Smaller values don't reduce the size further, but make
the text less bold until 12px which appears to be the size used without
this file.

Anyone know if there is a way to make the text slightly larger without
making it bolder?

Use a different font. Trebuchet is slightly bolder than other fonts, which makes it easier to read for me. You could use Arial or Helvetica instead.
