I am trying to change the fonts used in the various panels in
Seamonkey Mail. I am using the same profile as I use for the
Mozilla Suite, but the displayed fonts are not the same (or the
display of them is handled differently). The fonts used by the
Mozilla Suite are much more readable than those used for Seamonkey.
Changes to 'Edit/Preferences/Appearance/Fonts are only supposed to
affect web pages, not the folder and message lists of Seamonkey,
itself.
If both your SM and your Moz are from debs, or both are from
mozilla.org downloads, when there should be no difference in the UI
fonts. You may want to take a look at resolving any DPI issues before
trying to adjust the fonts themselves:

Is there a debian package of Seamonkey at this time? Certainly not in
Sarge, but looking through allpackages.html for Sid, I didn't see it,
either. So my Mozilla Suite is a .deb and my Seamonkey is from mozilla.org.
Moz and SM and Firefox UI fonts are managed with CSS, something not
particularly easy for a CSS novice to get a handle on. Users can
change them using the file chrome/userChrome.css in your profile
directory. The one you'll want to start with is probably
treechildren, in the form used on:
http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html#usercss , probably
something like "treechildren {font-size: 9pt !important; font-family:
'dejavu sans' !important;}".
As I said, I am using the same profile for Mozilla and for Seamonkey, so
anything controlled by files in the profile directory tree *should* be
the same. In any case, the only .css files that I see in the chrome
directory are user-Chrome-example.css and userContent-example.css. Is
it possible that, lacking userChrome.css each of the programs is
handling things in its own way, but if I copy userChrome-example.css to
userChrome.css they would both use it and be the same? If so, since it
was created my Mozilla Suite (which displays better font) then maybe it
would be set up to use fonts as Mozilla Suite does and I will get them both
working the way I want. I will give that a try and report back the
results that I get.
