The message pane itself it OK. Please see <http://kz.kz/mozillabug/smallfont/> for screen dumps. Note: I've reduced the system font size to 80%, Mozilla seems to reduce this further. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Mozilla, either the browser or MailNews Actual Results: Everything looks OK. Only, most texts are too small to be readable. Expected Results: Same text size in menus etc as in "all" other programs.

The portions of Mozilla containing the small text you complain of are sized using points. The meaning of a point is dependent upon the system DPI setting. Smaller DPI settings produce smaller point sizes and vice versa. When you changed the system fonts to 80%, you reduced the DPI, thus reducing the size of the fonts in controls and the headers and folders panes. If for some reason you require the system setting of 77 DPI for your other apps, but need the indicated Mozilla fonts to be larger, then you will need to learn how to make use of the userChrome.css file that may or may not currently exist in your profile's chrome directory. As a starting point, try putting this into that file: * {font-size: 9pt;} It will most likely not be suited without customization, but you will be able to see the effect. Make sure to restart Mozilla cold after modifying userChrome.css. Your system DPI also affects web pages that size text in points. Again, on web pages as in the chrome, smaller DPI means smaller text. http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/auth/PointsDemo.html can help you decide upon an appropriate system DPI setting.

Thank's, manipulating userChrome.css in the profile counteracts the problem, making the fonts large enough. Strangely enought, only MozillaFirebird and Mozilla of the programs installed on this computer are having this problem.

The duplicate is about folder pane / thread pane text; bug 206702 is about menu font size, among others. See also bug 124510, bug 180198, bug 206443, bug 207593 for other bugs specific to other parts of the UI. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 18454 ***
