I don't know if this helps, but maybe some configfiles are deprecated, which cause this fonts. 1. Look at your /etc/X11/XftConfig. Thats the global config file, which handles the fontpaths for gtk2 and kde. 2. Do you have a ~/.xftconfig in your home? Maybe edit it or erase it. 3. GTK1 applications are defined through ~/.gtkrc configuration file or gnomecc. GTK2 has gnome-control-center or kde has kcontrol (or maybe newer.. don't know - i don't use kde). 4. GTK1 applications use the X Fonts. These fonts are available through your X session. Maybe you should check your entries in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. 5. For example: the mozilla builds from mozilla.org are gtk1 applications. You've define the fonts through gnomecc (gnome control center) or by editing your home gtkrc. Maybe this helps you out.

And when I change the theme font thru gnomecc to Verdana or even good ol' Helvetica, Mozilla's embedded widgets go back to a sane size. Some other fonts are still freaky (Arial has been replaced by some horrible font with curly tips), but now I have a useable browser again. I can be happy now, and return to a more leisurely investigation of the font setup. Thanks much! Robbie -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
