Yes, that works, but only if you restart Konqueror: that trapped me previously, as I didn't think it needed restarting. However, a different problem arises, as vital header text is now missing: http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~purslow/font-firefox2.png http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~purslow/font-konq2.png This happens on other sites too. I don't know how to write style sheets, though I can find these in ~/.kde : can you suggest what to add or do you know of a beginners' guide to style sheets anywhere ? >> (2) Open Office 2.0.3 (2.0.2) insists on overlarge fonts for menus, >> despite my setting 'Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice -> Fonts: >> automatic, non-proportional, size 10'; it is cured only when I set >> 'Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice -> View: scaling = 80 % ' >> & '125 %' in the toolbar: see ( 1 = former , 2 = latter ) >> http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~purslow/font-oo1.png >> http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~purslow/font-oo2.png > Make sure you have "Use system font for user interface" selected > in "Tools->Options->OpenOffice.org->View" It makes no difference when I select that: any further suggestions ? Perhaps I need to change the "system font" somewhere ? IIRC this started only with OO 2.0.2 : does that give any clues ? Thanks for your helpful assistance.
