About fonts on yahoo webmail

Hi folks,

Archlinux 86-64 2007-08-2
Gnome Desktop
Gnome Web Browser 2.20.1

The characters on yahoo webmail are too small to read.  I have been playing around on;

Edit -> Preferences -> Fonts and Style

w/o result.  Please where can I re-set their fonts?  TIA

Hi Danpos,

Thanks for your advice and URL.

I suspect whether my problem having anything in connection with the font settings of Arch.  The fonts on other webmails such gmail.com, hotmail.com, etc. are normal.  Except on the webmail of yahoo.com the fonts are too tiny to read.

pressing  [Ctrl]+[+]

OR
View -> Larger Text

have no effect.  I looked around on the options of yahoo webmail.  But nothing has been discover there able to solve my problem.

Did you try setting the minimum font size option in firefox? In about:config set "font.minimum-size.x-western", or somewhere in the preferences dialog.

check the yahoo mail user options for your account. I think there's a setting in there somewhere to change the font size.

>>edit: Options -> General Preferences: font size: smaller, normal, larger

Yes, on preferences -> fonts & styles -> Min Size =15

I'm running "Lpiphany Web Browser" (Gnome Web browser 2.20.1)

After login Yahoo Mail -> Check Mails:-
listing the mails received.  The fonts size is too tiny, hardly to read.  [Ctrl]+[+/-] has no effect, including View -> Larger/Smaller text.

However after clicking open the mail then both of abovementioned have effect.  I don't know what is the cause.  But it only happens on Yahoo webmail.  Gmail/Hotmail, etc. are working properly.

I have been playing around on it but w/o result.  The strange thing is it only happens on Yahoo Mail.  Other online webmails don't have this problem
