I hope I can carry my 300mb of saved mail along. I've been accumulating it since early Netscape on windows. Bob 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.

If no problem then, delete your /home/username/.mozilla folder and then restart Moz. Backup your bookmarks.html (and mail, if you use mozilla mail) first!

The preferences don't affect displays directly produced be Mozilla, like the contents of Inbox, or any other folder, nor menus, etc. If all else fails, I guess I'll try re-installing Mozilla -- but that sounds like a Windows solution. ;-) Again, Thanks, Bob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
