Tiny Fonts


Is there a way to get the fonts in Mandrake bigger ?? I have everything the way I want it to be except with the Mozilla stuff. The fonts on the toolbars and the fonts within the browser window are soooooooooooooo tiny. This seems unique almost to Mandrake since I have not experienced these tiny fonts on SuSE or Fedora or Slackware etc. Any help as to how to resize them would be appreciated ...... Tks, Emmett

if you're using KDE, go to Kontrol Center->looknfeel->fonts. you can pick & choose styles, sizes, colours, etc. there for different aspects of the desktop, apps, menus, etc.

Kontrol Center is in Kicker->configuration->configure your desktop.

If you wish to "re-bigulate" your mozilla fonts, try edit, preferences, appearance, fonts, then set the minimum font size > gnats hindquarters.

Please excuse obsure reference to "the Simpsons", I just couldn't help myself.

Question None of your suggestions work

I have tried all that you have suggested an NOTHING works. The fonts won't change when I use the preferences menu in Mozilla 1.6 and Mozilla will not change when I use the Fonts menu under KDE. If I open in Gnome, things are a little better.

This was after I did an upgrade to 10.0 official from 9.2 and then had to install Mozilla 1.6 because the upgrade did not remove Mozilla 1.3.

Any other suggestions??
Thanks
