I just got done setting up the Xorg-7.2 and Fluxbox, and after |
2 |
compiling and running Firefox-2 for the first time, I found that the |
3 |
default font set-up wasn't to my liking. It looked strange and |
4 |
wouldn't produce any boldfaces in Gmail. So I followed a "Howto Xorg |
5 |
and Fonts - Gentoo Linux Wiki", and my font paths for Xorg currently |
6 |
have: |
7 |
|
8 |
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc/:unscaled" |
9 |
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1/" |
10 |
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/corefonts/" |
11 |
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/freefonts/" |
12 |
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/sharefonts/" |
13 |
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/terminus/" |
14 |
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera/" |
15 |
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/unifont/" |
16 |
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled" |
17 |
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled" |
18 |
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/dejavu/" |
19 |
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/intlfonts/" |
20 |
|
21 |
I removed the "/usr/share/fonts/TTF" and "/usr/share/fonts/OTF" |
22 |
entries that were in my /etc/xorg.conf, since I did not find those |
23 |
directories in my /usr/share/fonts directory. |
24 |
|
25 |
In Firefox-2 advanced fonts & colors menu, I set proportional to Serif |
26 |
(16), serif to bitstream vera serif, sans-serif to bitstream vera |
27 |
sans, and monospace to bitstream vera sans mono (12). |
28 |
|
29 |
However, I notice no change from the original Firefox-2 font |
30 |
appearance, unless I check the "always use my fonts" option. When I |
31 |
"always use my fonts", I get boldfaces in Gmail, etc, which is good, |
32 |
but the default font size in Firefox is still too small, and I always |
33 |
need to click on View->Text Size -> Increase. |
34 |
|
35 |
I would like my Firefox fonts under Xorg to look more or less like my |
36 |
Firefox fonts under Windows ;) How did some of you deal with |
37 |
customizing fonts in Firefox? |
38 |
|
39 |
And how can I make the font in Firefox menus and URL bar larger? |
40 |

Thanks, and I apologize in advance if my questions are too simplistic |
42 |
or have already been asked many times before... |
