I just upgraded to 9.2 with no problems save that I should have downloaded the driverloader rpm for my wireless card _before_ the upgrade since my old one was kernel specific. Yast failed to download the firmware for the acx111 chipset even when I strung a long wire to a regular nic to get back on the internet. Now firefox comes up with a huge interface font--menus etc. I can get it to look right by running gnome-settings-daemon but that is a pain in the neck: it resets my keyboard mappings set by xmodmap and, now, the new version whines about "{" when it expected "}", xscreensaver can't find things, etc etc. My question is why won't firefox honor the settings in userChrome.css? Mozilla does, thunderbird does. It must be detecting gnome somehow and reading some setting somewhere? Where? Can I change these static settings or delete them? After all firefox must run on gnome-free linux systems, right? I have put font specifications in .gtkrc-everything in my home directory with no effect. On my other machines I am not going to upgrade until Mr. Ogley or someone comes up with a cleaned up gnome: I lost a lot of the ulb-gnome programs as the installation "resolved" incompatibilities. thanks, Henry Harpending

Was your FF built with QT instead of GTK2? Probably not, but I thought I'd ask anyway. I probably won't get around to 9.2 for a month or more. Nevertheless I have to speculate a possible DPI problem in spite of the fact that Moz & TB don't have the same problem. You should not need to use userChrome.css to fix what are bugs. Normally userChrome is for customization tweaks. So, is your DPI OK? Have a look at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=164574&action=view to see. Also, try a new FF profile. If that works, try deleting XUL.mfasl in your original profile directory, and if that doesn't work, *.rdf. -- "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

Changing DPI fixed it by half. A new profile fixed it. Thanks, Henry Harpending BTW glad to see "Team OS2" in your sig: I still mourn for it.
Henry, It looks like you installed the version that doesn't give you antialiased fonts. Try the version found here: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/0.10.1/firefox-1.0PR... Note the gtk2+xft in the file name. That's the one that will give you much nicer fonts. And it's Best regards, Pete -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peter N.

I think you'll find that SVG is "Structured Vector Graphics". The type of graphics that Inkscape or Sodipodi turn out. There is a plugin from Adobe, I believe. Lee

The one I have does anti-aliasing too just fine. It was a pretty early rc1 on their site I think. Henry

The output includes " --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2 --enable-xft " so it was built with gtk2.

Oops, forgot to write it down. My screen is about 100 dpi, 1920x1200, and XF86Config has it as 1600x1200 I think. Henry
