["Paul W. Abrahams" <abrahams@xxxxxxx>]

I'm the one who started this discussion, and with the help of some advice I 
got a while ago, I've finally gotten the Firefox menu bar fonts to behave the 
way I want them to under KDE.  The solution I've adopted does not involve any 
fiddling with DPI; I assume, possibly wrongly, that the reason the fonts are 
small is that the Gnome defaults are deliberately chosen that way.

You need to have gnome-control-center installed.  Go to gnome-control-center 
and select, in an obvious way, the font and size that gladdens your heart.  
You can choose the face as well as the size -- something that DPI twiddling 
won't give you.  Start up Firefox and you'll see the font you want -- but it 
won't persist between sessions.

To make it persist between sessions, you need to do one more thing: insert 
into your ~/.xinitrc file the line

   gnome-settings-daemon &

Now all will be well for the rest of your days.

Paul
