Hi Mark,

The body of firefox i have adjusted the fonts according to my liking but the taskbar and search part are horribly small. So is gkrellm, i can't read the temps. I have tried all the settings in kcontrol to no avail.

I guess you're using the KDE desktop. Firefox uses GTK, so it won't use the font settings you specify in KDE's control panel. You need to install the control-center2 rpm first. Once installed, go to the KDE menu, then Utilities, then Desktop, and then choose the gnome desktop configuration tool. Look for the font settings, and change them to suit your style. Now, when you start firefox, it will use those fonts. You must also ensure that the gnome-settings-daemon is started up each time you log into KDE. Go into your .kde/Autostart directory, and create a soft link from /opt/gnome/lib/control-center-2.0/gnome-settings-daemon to this directory, so that the next time you start KDE, the gnome fonts you chose are applied. I was pulling my hair out over this, until I stumbled upon this solution via Google. I think this should be an FAQ entry. Anand
