How can I change the font size in Thunderbird 3? The bold fonts are to bold and the general font size is to big I think.
I have tested with creating a chrome folder in the default profile. The userChrome.css looks like this. But it didn't work.
/*
* Edit this file and copy it as userChrome.css into your
* profile-directory/chrome/
*/
/*
* This file can be used to customize the look of Mozilla's user interface
* You should consider using !important on rules which you want to
* override default settings.
*/
/*
* Do not remove the @namespace line -- it's required for correct functioning
*/
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* set default namespace to XUL */
/*
* Some possible accessibility enhancements:
*/
/*
* Make all the default font sizes 20 pt:
*
* * {
* font-size: 20pt !important
* }
*/
/* Global UI font */
{
font-size: 6pt !important;
}
EDIT: Seems like the bold font is a more global problem. This is from Firefox
I have installed the ubuntu patched fonts. My ~/.fonts.conf looks like this.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<test compare="more" name="weight">
<const>medium</const>
</test>
<edit mode="assign" name="autohint">
<bool>true</bool>
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font">
<test name="weight" compare="more">
<const>medium</const>
</test>
<edit name="autohint" mode="assign">
<bool>false</bool>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>

<bool>true</bool>
<bool>false</bool>
Are you trying to confuse us?
Make your mind up as to whether to set it to true or false.
Maybe cairo is getting confused by that, especially if you're not using my magical cairo-respect-fontconfig.patch

Maybe I am.
I just copied something from the wiki and added it. So it might have been something not being quite right. I didn't really check. I will change it and see what happens.

Cleaned up the .fonts.conf file, but no change.
The folder /etc/fonts/conf.avail/ contains the following files:
# ls /etc/fonts/conf.avail/
10-antialias.conf 11-lcd-filter-lcddefault.conf 53-monospace-lcd-filter.conf
10-hinting-full.conf 20-fix-globaladvance.conf 60-latin.conf

Anything there that might be causing it the to bold fonts?

conf.avail/
That's the wrong place to look. Look in /etc/fonts/conf.d/ to see your actual configuration, rather than the list of potential ("available" bits).

Yes of course. My bad.
Here it is. Some of the entries don't have a corresponding entry in conf.avail. I accidentally deleted 10-autohint.conf from conf.avail when I meant to delete it in conf.d. Ho do I get it back?
Have tested lxappearance to change the font in GTK applications. Works, but the boldness is not looking very good yet.
