What about updating ? - Your Mozilla 1.3 is quite old by linux standards. Besides, there are a few security flaws in Mozilla previous to Mozilla 1.7.3 and Firefox 1 ORC.

I just updated to those, and although they don't come as Mandrake rpms, they are blindingly easy to install. Only issue was a somewhat hairy java-plugin.

I think Kaj is correct because minimum font size does control display on my mozilla.

Thanks to both of you. I guess that's the best route to take. I hope I can carry my 300mb of saved mail along. I've been accumulating it since early Netscape on windows.

Hope this is not too late but the only way I corrected this problem was nothing to do with mozilla. I had to go deep and change my system wide fonts settings after I had updated something. I know it wasn't the usual desktop configuring but right now cannot recall exactly what it was. Whatever, once done it fixed all these font problems within mozilla for me. So I guess, 'go deep'.

If in kde there is a place somewhere in kde CC to adjust fonts thought kde, but whether that will also adjust fonts in older versions of mozilla I cannot remember. Worth a try though.

Incidentally , when updating your mozilla you can incorporate all your old emails, groups, filters and settings, BUT first you need to create an account in mozilla with the wizzard, then navigate to the mail folders in /home/.mozilla and just overwrite them with your old folders.
