After the upgrade, menu fonts in some non-kde applications (i.e. mozilla,
xmms) looks really ugly. It seems it doesn't find some font or size.

In Mozilla, for example, only menu, url bar, and status bar fonts looks
bad. The html panel looks ok, as it was before.

I tried changing fonts in the KDE Control Panel, but does affect to
Mozilla and xmms. I also tried changing fonts from Gnome (as suggested by other posts)... I have also installed the msttcorefonts (which i must say have improved radically the web fonts), but it was always in vain for XMMS menu fonts...

Any other hints where i can probe?

Thanks,
Ganninu..

maybe you can change them from the KDE Control Center...!? try to change the deafult and the system fonts...;] did you receive some error ??

that was one of the first things i've tried but didn't work.. What i did was to change the font resolution from from 100dpi to 75dpi from the /etc/kde3/kdm/Xservers file such that now the XMMS menu fonts are only ugly and not big+ugly heehhe.... but anyways, i think i'll have to live with it!

I got the same issue in Libranet. Using Freetype was suggested to me by Antiphon and it worked...Here are his/her instructions. Don't ask me how I'm a newbie!

1. Download the latest freetype from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/f...r.bz2?download

2. Press Ctrl+Alt+F6 and then log in as root.

3. /etc/init.d/gdm stop

4. cd to wherever you put the freetype file.

5. tar -xjf freetype-2.1.5.tar.bz2

6. cd freetype-2.1.5

7. ./configure --prefix=/usr;make;make install

8. /etc/init.d/gdm start

installing freetype fonts didn't work either

Hi -

Go to your profile's chrome subdirectory and look at userChrome-examples.css.

You can change font sizes, face, etc. there for the menus, navbar, etc., or ALL.

Works great.

Here's a patch I did to make everthing 14-pt:

(apart from the topic at hand )

for userChrome.css i found this to be helpfull,

menubar, menubutton, menulist, menu, menuitem, textbox, toolbar, tab,
tree, tooltip
{
font-family: verdana, helvetica !important;
font-size: 8.5mm !important;
}
