On my (KDE) desktop, the Firefox browser shows up with a tiny font for the top-line menu (File, Edit, View, etc.) The control for that font appears to be neither in Firefox itself nor in the KDE control center. I'm guessing that it's somewhere in the X configuration. Can anyone tell me how to make that font bigger (or to change it to a different font)?
This isn't specific to SuSE, Paul. It happens to me with SuSE 10 and also Kubuntu. The 'good' (?) news is that it has been flagged up on here a week or two ago. I am currently trying to find exactly which config line it is that needs tweaking. I'm 99% sure it is configurable through the about:config utility that is accessed by typing that very URL into Firefox. I'm currently trying to find the time to trawl through the Firefox Hacks book. As soon as I get an answer I will certainly post it up here.
There is no such about:config entry. Read up here (Mozilla there means any of Mozilla Suite, SeaMonkey, Firefox & Thunderbird): http://www.mozilla.org/unix/dpi.html If you know anything about CSS, and unless you've used user CSS in your FF profile to override, you'll find that the Firefox main menu fonts will match any web page text to which this style is applied: {font: menu}. That style is used on http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/auth/Font/fonts-menu-comp-ff.html and http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/auth/Font/fonts-system.html if you care to see it in action. -- "I can do all things through Him who gives me strength."
