[Bug 78687] Re: [Edgy] Default font in Firefox too big
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 118745 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118745 This bug is in a sense a DPI issue, but Firefox is behaving as expected, and this bug is not a duplicate of bug 118745. Unlike the rest of a typical X desktop, in which font sizes are set and customized in pt sizes, Firefox defaults are set in px. Firefox's default default is 16px, (shown in default font settings advanced, even though omitted from the initial settings tab) which is designed correspond to 12pt @ a DPI of 96, the DPI used by default in M$ Windows. Because the pt size to px size relationship varies with DPI, it is expected behavior for Firefox defaults to be too big or too small when DPI varies from 96, In this case, your DPI is lower, making 16px too big. For those with high resolution screens, 16px will typically be too small. No fix for bug 118745 can or will change this. A fix for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414427 or a similar upstream bug for have to be fixed for this problem to go away in default profiles. User solution currently requires manually changing the Firefox default. -- [Edgy] Default font in Firefox too big https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78687 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The same happened to me (on Gutsy) after the automatic update of firefox today. Firefox now displays text (that has given a fixed font-size in CSS) bigger than before the update.

[Bug 78687] Re: [Edgy] Default font in Firefox too big
Of course :) When I enter www.wetter.de there are rendering errors in the various boxes in the upper part of the screen. The font is too big, so the contents don't fit into one line (of the box) so they're wrapped and the whole contents of the box don't fit the height of the box any more. Hitting CTRL-- will change the font to a smaller value, so the font is fine. The font size should be the same as in firefox under windows IMHO so that there are no such errors any more. -- [Edgy] Default font in Firefox too big https://launchpad.net/bugs/78687 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hello Michael, Thank you for the bug report, I cannot seem to reproduce the text disappearance bug, I got to the pages hit Ctrl+- and it seems to re- render the font-size fine? Can you elaborate on this a little please? I agree there should be a default font selected when going to 'Edit - Prefs - Content - Fonts/Colours'..
