hello to you all,
the fonts in my mozilla browser are all very small (screen resolution is 1280x1024 - the only one I can have with my ati card) ... I tried to change the default fonts in preferences and in about:config, but it doesn't work. Is there any other solution...hm?

thanks for your response

Hi,
ctrl-+ will increase the font size in FFx or ctrl while moving mouse scroll
wheel will do the same thing.
Cheers,
Jonathan

FYI: It seems like it would be easier for most people to use
Edit...Preferences...Content than using the "config" method.

Ok, I have this same problem as well, but doing CTRL + or mouse scroll
wheel makes some fonts gigantic, while others only get a little big
bigger. The end result is that many poorly designed websites no
longer render well, with GUI options missing or unreadable because the
text has scrolled off the side of the button.

Why is is that even though I have msttcorefonts installed I cannot get
Firefox on Linux to look as good? The default settings on Windows
look nice and sharp, and quite readable with no tweaking. On the
Linux side of things, not so much. I have even tried duplicating the
exact settings I had on Windows but to no avail.

Firefox on Ubuntu seems to look a bit better than FF on CentOS though.

thanks for your replies ... unfortunately, I already know that (i.e. how to increase the fonts)... but .. as I'm new in Ubuntu, I'm still a little windowish* ) as one of my friends used to say and I'm still 'expecting' that Ubuntu will do some those little repairments such as font in FF.* Never matters, I will do with ctrl -+*

one of the lovely things here in ubuntu is that if I set the font in the browser as I love to...all the pages (in the same tab) will be displayed with the previously setting fonts

have a nice day

My fonts are quite sharp, but I tweaked things a bit.* Not sure where I
got this from, but it seems to work for me.* Be sure to back up your
.fonts.config file first, just on case.



Make a new text file in your home folder and name if .fonts.config two
dots as it's a hidden file.* Place this text in it.* You'll probably
have to log-out and -in again to make it work...

The -+ is not required. Just the Ctrl key and mouse scroll wheel will
work. If this is not the case on your FF, check in about:config:

mousewheel.withcontrolkey.action

should be set to 3. If not double-click the 'Value' and change to 3.

mousewheel.withcontrolkey
How mousewheel works when CTRL key is pressed
mousewheel.withcontrolkey.action
Action to take

* 0 : Scroll document by X lines
* 1 : Scroll document by one page
* 2 : Move back/forward in history
* 3 : Make text larger/smaller

mousewheel.withcontrolkey.numlines
Number of lines to scroll by (if relevant)
mousewheel.withcontrolkey.sysnumlines
Scroll by a number of lines equal to system default?

And, if by chance you are like Dotan and have only one good hand at the
moment, you can also set it so that the scroll wheel alone can adjust
the text (but then you need to use the scroll bar to scroll the page):

mousewheel.withnokey
How mousewheel works when no key is pressed
mousewheel.withnokey.action
Action to take

* 0 : Scroll document by X lines
* 1 : Scroll document by one page
* 2 : Move back/forward in history
* 3 : Make text larger/smaller

mousewheel.withnokey.numlines
Number of lines to scroll by (if relevant)
mousewheel.withnokey.sysnumlines
Scroll by a number of lines equal to system default?
