If Konqueror fonts works fine in the browser, then so should Mozilla's. Did you try my suggestion and uninstall Mozilla 1.4 and then reinstall it?

Opera is dead easy to install on Fedora if you are interested. Download the QT Shared - RedHat 9/Mandrake 9.2/SuSE 8.2 RPM available. Save it into your /home directory, then open up your /home and go Tools > Open Terminal. Change to root, and then enter in:

rpm -Uvh opera*.rpm [enter]

You will then find an Opera entry on the KMenu under Internet (although I have heard of it ending up under System Settings before?!)

lol - no I wasn't :p

Kiki suggested Opera and Growly seemed worried about installing it, I was only trying to tell him it is very easy to install.

Firefox is still my preference for browsers :D

Ah .... aren't you running Fedora?!

>Stupid mozilla. (Psst Jen C, i did reinstall it, no diff)
Oh dear.
Just for fun, as you can't make it any worse, how about setting the fonts to the ones I gave earlier instead of the current ones?

>Waaaa!! WAAAAAA!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! :'(
You want your mommy? :p

243853 2004-06-14 10:53:00 Oh yeah, I run debian 1.2 on an old bogan machine :D

Ah ha! Well don't go downloading that RPM for Opera I suggested as that won't mix well with your Debian :D. Grab the debian packaged file (may be best to get the QT static one in that case) and install it how Debian likes things done:
dpkg -i opera-static_7.51-20040602.1-qt_en_i386.deb

Or better yet, grab Firefox. With 0.8 you simply extract the file and then go into the firefox directory and launch the executable -easy as :). Firefox 0.9 which is supposed to be released any day now, comes with a auto-installer instead, like the Mozilla 1.7 RC3 did.

243855 2004-06-14 11:21:00 No lol! Sorry, i meant I run debian separately on a different bogan machine, the problems is with fedora!

Rest assured Jen, your help has been invaluable!
