Anyway it looks to me like Konqueror is always honoring the document-specified fonts instead of your chosen ones. So if a web page specifies Verdana for everything (like Yahoo does), then that is what konqueror displays. You can override this quite brutally by using the "Accessibility" style sheet under Stylesheets, and customizing it to force the "same font family for all text". > (2) Open Office 2.0.3 (2.0.2) insists on overlarge fonts for menus, > despite my setting 'Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice -> Fonts: > automatic, non-proportional, size 10'; it is cured only when I set > 'Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice -> View: scaling = 80 % ' > & '125 %' in the toolbar: see ( 1 = former , 2 = latter ) If you build openoffice with USE=kde (and it looks like you do), openoffice should be able to use the KDE theming engine for rendering it's user interface, including fonts. But you should make sure that you have "Use system font for user interface" selected in "Tools->Options->OpenOffice.org->View" -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
