I had the exact same problem in Firefox. What's happening is that you |
| 12 |
are setting up *YOUR* fonts, but the browser is using *THE WEBPAGE'S* |
| 13 |
fonts, so what you do has no effect. |

The Mozilla menu sequence might be slightly different. In Firefox, it |
| 18 |
was as follows... |

Preferences |

General |
| 23 |
Fonts & Colors |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Near the bottom of the "Fonts & Colors" tab, check the option... |
| 26 |
Always use my: [X] Fonts |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Now *YOUR* font choices should take effect. |

An infinite number of monkeys pounding away on keyboards will |

eventually produce a report showing that Windows is more secure, |
| 34 |
and has a lower TCO, than linux. |
