Ben, Bruce, Carlo Thank you all for the help & info you have provided me. Sorry it took me so long to reply to you all but I have been wrestling with this for a couple of days. Update: After becoming frustrated with this and several other problems with KDE (see Kmail Kquirks) I did the following. First I tried your solution Bruce, but I did not have a file called ....User/<gobbledygook>/chrome/userChrome.css...... so I went to the URL you gave me, copied the files, made a new userChrome.css file and copied the info to there. Wouldn't work. Don't know why I don't have a User/<gobbledygook>/chrome/userChrome.css ! Oh well! So, then I followed Ben's advive, uninstalled Mozilla 1.4b, downloaded 1.4rc5 tar.gz and installed that. ( file structure seems significantly different) Anyway,same big fonts. Finally discovered (after Ben telling me) that I had to use gnomecc as a user (was thinking it was system wide) and finally solved my font size problem. Only thing is, I don't have any of my plug-ins :-( Guess I will have to go to Netscape and download them. Nor my bookmarks (See below) Hey Ben, guess I have to take mozilla out of my apt-get sources list now, right? :-( BTW, couldn't download that theme. Don't know why. I would like to try it! Sooooo, I then blew away .kde and let it rebuild. ( What a PITA to set all of my prefs again) but, It solved all of my other KDE problems including the screwy kmail thing. Carlos, last, but cerainly not least. Thanks to your advice I can access those old bookmarks now for browsing, There are several hundred of them in about 20 different directories.. Surely would like to integrate them though so that I can add and remove entries, Can't figure out how to do that in "Manage Bookmarks". More advice, please?? Anyway guys, thanks again. Really funny though, I upgraded 8.0 to 8.1 with apt-get with some problems but it worked out pretty good. Then I upgraded 8.1 to 8.2 with shiny new discs. Worked pretty good. But I wanted to change my directory structure so I did a new install of 8.2 !!! Boy, am I sorry!!! Think I will keep 8.2 for at least two years, assuming I will eventually get everything working right. Hmmmmm,,,, Maybe an 8.3 with apt-get ????? Bob S.
