Details

I don't even know if I'm using the term "Application Font" right... I just mean that the "File", "Edit", ... menus; the URL box; the Bookmarks; the contents of all subwindows; and so on, are all way too large. Approx. 14pt (?). I had been using M18-3, and it had a much more reasonable font size. When I upgraded to the nightly that looked favorable according to www.mozillazine.org/build_comments (December 20, 2000), I was blown out of my seat by the huge font. At my old company, we had these pagers that had two font sizes: Legibly small, and what everyone called, "'tard Mode". The font is currently in Tard Mode for sure. If it was an intentional decision to make it that large, it should certainly be configurable. It is completely possible that it is already configurable, but I had a hard time discovering where to change it. Is this an issue with the skin I'm using? If so, the skin upgrade is the one at fault, and my complaint instead lies with it. Forgive me, please, if this is a dup', I tried searching a number of times and couldn't quite find anything mentioning this. If it is a dup', I'll polish my bug-searching-skills before I file another one. If you need any more details, or would like me to pinpoint the exact build where the font size grew, I would be happy to help. Thanks, - Ryan King
This is a bug in the way mozilla gets system fonts under linux that was showcased by the modern theme switching to system fonts on 12-19. If you are _not_ using the modern theme (or a theme based on modern), then this is a different bug and you should reopen it. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 63316 ***
