Firefox uses small menu fonts on KDE

[Tim Hull]

For some time, I have noticed that Firefox experiences a strange problem when
run under KDE (tested on 3.3.2). By default,
Firefox uses the system dpi when drawing its windows. However, in KDE this
results in menu fonts smaller than the rest of the system. If you set dpi
manually to a slightly higher value, you can get the fonts looking OK, but this
is somewhat of a workaround.

In my experience, this only occurs w/some dpis (for instance, it happens at 75
dpi but not 72 dpi), so I'm thinking it's some type of rounding error or
miscalculation regarding DPI somewhere in Firefox or KDE. Could someone look
into this issue?

with the gtk2-engines-gtk-qt package you can modify them. After installing this package,
start kcontrol, goto Appearance & Themes, you'll see a new item, GTK Styles and Fonts.

Cheers,

I think this workaround is the only reasonable way to go.

Same here.... After updating from Feisty Fawn I found that fonts are smaller than system's - maybe - 1.5 times smaller than system's....
