Hello,

I am running RH6.1 w/Netscape and Gnome from that release. I had
success making TT fonts available by following the info at
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/FDU-2.html.

Somehow, on one of two identical installs, I have caused the Netscape
toolbars (back button, etc) to use a giant font that doesn't allow
display of all the toolbar funtions within a full-sized window. This is
also happening with the Gnome login prompt, but that isn't particularly
a problem.

I know how to set the font and size for displayed html within Netscape,
and for text windows under Gnome(enlightenment), but have no idea where
the font size is set for Netscape toolbars. Any help is greatly
appreciated.

Thanks to all
Bill

Have you added any lines to .Xdefaults for NS font handling? This is the
only way I know to do this. Also, removing the lines doesn't necessarily
revert back to the old font. See if have a Netscape.ad file, then find
the appropriate font definition line (good luck), and put that in
.Xdefaults.

Using the clues from the FDU Howto, you should look at your X fontpath
and reverse the order of the misc. fonts. List the 75dpi first, and
the 100dpi second.

Many thanks to Hal and Ed for the quick responses. Ed gets the prize
this time. Swapping the 100dpi and 75dpi fonts did the trick. What's
odd is that both machines (actually two HDs on the same machine) had
identical .Xdefaults and /etc/X11/fs/config files. I'm a happy (but
confused) camper.

Thanks again,
Bill

PS - I'm doing the two drive thing so I can use one to load the 2.3.43
kernel and start working with Steven Tweedie's kiobuf stuff. Is this a
reasonable way to preserve bootability while working with a development
kernel? I'm hoping I can always fall back on the vanilla OS and use it
to manipulate files on the development OS if worst comes to worst.

TX again (again)
