[gentoo-user] Thunderbird 2.0 browser fonts are tiny

Since upgrading to Thunderbird 2.0.0.0, the browser font used to
display trees (folders, message lists) is tiny, so tiny that (a) I
have difficulty reading it, and (b) nothing is rendered in bold.

The docs speak of userChrome.css as the file (not present by default)
that allows one to modify the browser's appearance, but

  strace -fe trace=open /usr/bin/thunderbird 2>&1 | \
    fgrep userChrome.css

yields nothing; Thunderbird 2.0 apparently no longer uses userChrome.css.

How can I change the size of the fonts in Thunderbird's browser?

TIA.

Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Go To Tab Display -> Go To Tab Formatting
-> Fonts & Encoding

Here you can edit your message fonts. You can also specify a minimum 
font size, which is probably what you want.

Im don't no if this works for the account-trees too.

I know how to change the font and size of the message contents. I was
asking how to change the font size of the *browser*.

It does not.

I usually set the xorg.conf option DPI under my "Device" Section. Usually helps.

This affects *all* other X applications, so it's probably a last resort.

FYI: thunderbird-bin 2.0.0.0 has normal-sized fonts.

I had the problem with mozilla-based ones, and as I have a 26" hdtv monitor, well, I kinda needed it
anyway :P
