To be clear, I'm exclusively addressing fonts here, not colors.

I have Leap 42 installed as a test system on the same computer as openSUSE 13.2 -- but as separate booting systems. I am also using the very latest versions of Thunderbird and Firefox on Leap and 13.2 -- but the important part to the question I am asking here is that I am using, thru the use of symlinks, the *same* '/.mozilla' and '/.thunderbird' in both Leap and 13.2. And here is the problem followed by the question: in 13.2 I have selected the fonts I like to be used in both TB and FF as Fonts you select in FF are only used on web pages that do not dictate fonts to be used, or when the dicatated fonts are not available, or when you disallow pages to specify fonts. Most web pages seem to go out of their way to prevent your choice of fonts to be seen on your computer. Here's an example of a CSS rule used by a typical web page:
html, body {font-family:1em "Lucida Grande", Arial, "DejaVu Sans", Verdana, sans-serif} [rest pruned]
Thanks Felix. I'll spend a bit more time some time later and after I have regained my composure and reread what you wrote. I thought that I would try something out -- namely, copying over the fonts from 13.2 to Leap -- and went to use my decades old favourite 'mc' to do the work. Within 5 seconds or so 'mc' aborted and I got a message on the screen stating that plasma5 pooped itself. After fooling around for several minutes, which included rebooting the system into Leap, I managed to get the konsole back on the screen but with the following result when I tried to run 'mc': http://susepaste.org/12506505 Now this is the very small area on a 27inch monitor so you have to view this image in perspective. Wunderbar! Not. And I don't know how to revert back to the original size (without having to re-install the whole sheebang).
