Firefox font sizes


My Firefox fonts are a bit all over the place, so just wondered what other people have them set as. Some pages look fine, on some the font is huge and on some it's tiny. My screen resolution is 1280x1024.

NikToo,

Try go to Edit|Preferences| under Fonts & Colors press on Advanced button. There you can choose any language and assign its fonts and fonts sizes.

Hope you question was understood,

Abolos.

yes, I had the same problem as you but this link proved to be very useful.

I've also cheated (as it's said in the first comment) and downloaded some windows fonts from the link exposed. Then, I applied my windows firefox fonts settings to the firefox in my linux box.

No more headaches!!

Windoze fonts for linux: (also mentioned in the previous link)

Hope that helps you!!

Thanks. It even looks like YaST might be able to do it for me. Hmmm... Will have to check later on when I'm back on the Linux machine.

No go. When I try to do rpm -ba msttcorefonts.1.3-4.spec it tells me -ba is not a valid option.
