Applications do not honor Font Rendering Resolution

[Ryan Marquardt]

Changing the Resolution from the default (72?) affects the text of most applications. I adjusted mine up to 90 dpi (under System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Fonts -> Details...), but application title bars remain small, as well as all of the text in Firefox and Thunderbird. I have thunderbird set to come up at startup, and sometimes it appears with the correct larger text, but I have not been able to figure out any way to make it start up this way consistently. I am using desktop effects, but the problem remains when this is turned off.

I did a workaround. Go Edit->Preferences->Content then click "Advanced" in "Fonts & Colors" section. Without altering any other setting set the minimum font size to that of your preference in the "Fonts for" pop-up window that just appeared. I set it to 18 and that is fine for me. I hope this works for you.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10?
