In Thunderbird, go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Config Editor. This brings up the about:config window. Type font.name into the find field and the preferences i mentioned should be visible. I'm wondering, as has been said, if this is more of a font issue than a Thunderbird bug. These default about:config preferences in the Debian package are the same as in the Thunderbird tarball from Mozilla. Personally, i've always had problems getting URW fonts (supplied by package gsfonts) to display properly in Firefox and Thunderbird. It seems fontconfig aliases certain fonts so that, for example, an application told to display Courier displays Nimbus Mono L. Realiasing these font families to a font known to display properly (via a local ~/fonts.conf file) is a more general workaround (see /etc/fonts/fonts.conf) and also resolves the Thunderbird font display issue. jed -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEN7NfVCFZ4iRYlcARAqqBAJ4uJyi7ONL5+JDLV1DUBHKjmu+izwCfbKDJ 4zYnxLz2W5PHvCzcSX3dI04= =Xfvw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
