Details

The ability to increase the font size is desperately needed. Mozilla is near working at this point, it's quite stable and fairly fast - it's just so small that it's practically unreadable. Anything including how to change the default style sheet to increase the normal font size would be wonderful.
Component: Apprunner → XPApps
Priority: P3
Target Milestone: M7
Changed priority to P3, component to XPApps, and set target milestone to M7. Is this an enhancement request or a platform-parity problem?

lansdoct, is this Unix that you would like enhanced?
A current workaround for this is to set an environment variable before you invoke apprunner. depending on your shell, type one of the following (only one will work) export GECKO_FONT_SIZE_FACTOR=1.75 setenv GECKO_FONT_SIZE_FACTOR 1.75 1.75 is a nice scale factor, but you can choose your own. there are hopes to include a feature in the UI to change this factor dynamically.
