Since this font is wider than the default windows font, and preferences dialog doesn't size depending on the font size, not all information is visible. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes change 'MS Shell Dlg' and 'MS Shell Dlg 2' to 'Century Gothic' 2. Restart Windows 3. Open Mozilla Preferences dialog and look at different categories Some categories are fine since there is not information and it can fit. This should be reproducible on Windows XP and 2000. Actual Results: Displayed info doesn't fit into the dialog and there are no scrollbars like in Firefox. Expected Results: Dialog should resize depending on the font. Modern theme. Will try classic.

It's happening with the classic theme too.

This is probably more of a problem for people that are using non US locale on Windows. Here is a link to Microsoft's definition of 'MS Shell Dlg' font: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/intl/nls_4qcn.asp

Same problem with: product= Mozilla suite, Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr-FR; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 o.s.= ms-windows-xp-sp2 font= Lucida console (and others) The problem occurs with both classic and modern themes. The problem also existed with older versions of Mozilla on ms-windows-98se. (The ms-windows default font is doesn't distinguish between all letters, creating some ambiguity. Lucida console does but is noticably wider.) (The problem exists even in functions of o.s. itself) A possible solution is to allow resizing dialog windows, even with about:config (just chose obvious names for the windows.)
