firefox/mozzilla big fonts problem

frado · 09-08-2005, 10:29 PM

Hi,
I use suse 9.2 and I installed firefox, it was all right, but now, my firefox (and mozzilla) use very big font for menu, status bar, ... it is independent from the user logged in.
Anybody have suggestions?
Thanks

Open Firefox and click on the "View" menu item --> Text Size --> Normal.

Maybe this doesn't help ... so click on the "Edit" menu item --> "Preferences" --> "General" --> "Font and Colors" button. Play around with the settings there.

Tony, that will work, but there's a shortcut

If you have a wheel mouse (And who doesn't nowadays?) hold ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel. It should adjust text size accordingly.

Thanks, but the problem is about the application and not about the web page.
The web page is displayed right, are the firefox menus that are too big.
But now I've discovered that the problem is about the Edit/Preferences, "Genaral" tab, "Font & Colors" settings, Display resolution that has value "System setting", if I put there the value "96 dpi" the application goes to work right.
But it may be that, someware in the system, there is a wrong value,
anybody know where firefox goes to read that value?
Thanks.

Ps: the workaround used with firefox is not useful for mozzilla because I'm not able to find the same setting-item.
