Hi SuSE folk,
First of all, running a new install of 8.2 Mozilla 1.4b Am having a problem with Mozilla. The fonts in the title bars, menus, etc. are miniscule for my old eyes. ..<snip some>....
Ben & Hans, Commenting on my own comments here. Further explanation. In Mozilla, Edit - Preferences - Appearance - Fonts - Changed the default font sizes (9 to 14) OK, but that is only for the webpages displayed. It has nothing to do with the size of the font in menus, dropdown boxes, titte bars etc. That is what I cannot read.
Second, and worst of all, and for one user only, in the body or page viewing area, where pages are displayed, the fonts are huge, ..<snip>
Mia Culpa. Did that myself with fooling around with the font sizes. Changed that back, flushed the cache and now that is OK
Third, I had saved all of my bookmarks from Mozilla from when I was running 8.1. I have copied them to the exact same location /home/bob/.mozilla/bob/ eihc6c5w6.slt/bookmarks.html and Mozilla does not see them. Is this the right place?
Hans, Running KDE 3.1.2 and of course Mozilla 1.4b. I can't seem to find anyway to import Bookmarks to the new Mozilla.

Bob,
You should most like enable freetype in this config file ..unix.js. It can be found here "/opt/mozilla/lib/defaults/pref/unix.js".
You need to make sure it looks like this.
----- // TrueType...........<snip>............
The line you want to pay attention to is the fonts directory. So if you tell it where your ttf's are then it will look much better.
Ben, Did what you said. Yes, now I have the truetype fonts available for Mozilla. Looks better in the "display area" for the file or webpage. Thanks for that. Still doesn't solve my tiny fonts problem in menus, title bars etc.
Also, I've been using the 1.4rc3 pkgs from the ftp site which are in /pub/projects/mozilla/experimental/.........<snip>......
Nooooo, not right now anyway. I will save the experimenting until I get everything working the way it is supposed to. Thanks for the info though.
Hope this helps a bit.
Yes it did, a little :-( Thanks for the interest. Bob
