Hello, I installed Xubuntu Edgy and I can confirm this error there. Please refer to firefox_big_fonts.png.
Also please note that I have no .gtkrc files in my home directory, yet all applications (including Thunderbird) display fonts correctly. Firefox only displays the text on the web pages correctly, but it is governed by the font settings in the Content menu. However, all the other parts of the UI have these ugly big fonts. It can be made to look better by hacking the userChrome.css, as described here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=168504 and here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=176039 BUT some controls are left out, and I do not know their names. Among these are text fields (single line) and buttons. Please refer firefox_big_fonts2.png, and compare it with the first shot. I think this error should be of higher importance, as it definitely impacts user experience! ** Attachment added: "Default setup in XFCE" http://librarian.launchpad.net/4940077/firefox_big_fonts.png -- Menu/dialog font is huge in Firefox since today's update https://launchpad.net/bugs/41453 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
