[gentoo-user] [OT] firefox fonts

[maxim wexler]

Hi group,

Following a major upgrade I noticed that all my fonts
had shrunk drastically. I was able to enlarge all of
them, KDE, the desktop, consoles etc except the menu
bar and drop down menus in firefox. I can increase the
font size in the window no problem but not the menu
bar and side bar. Nothing in "customize toolbar" about
changing font size. 

Anybody know how to deal with this?

Maxim

If *all* your fonts changed in size the odds are that the Xorg DPI changed to 
a different value.  Unless you know what it was you could experiment 
with -dpi <value> when you launch X or try xrandr.  This of course means that 
you will need to revert all application level changes.

To change the fonts of firefox itself, you could use gtk-chtheme.

But because all fonts changed, you may want to check that X has the 
right idea about the size of your display:

  xdpyinfo  | grep -e milli -e dots

If not, try setting something like "DisplaySize 320 240" (with the 
correct sizes filled in) in Section "Monitor" in xorg.conf.

No need. The next time I rebooted my old fonts were
back.
