Oh! It's too small. Why didn't you say so. You can change the font size in your .mozilla///chrome/userChrome.css Specifically, you can add: window { font-size: 12pt !important; font-family: helvetica !important; } More information is on: http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html Unfortunatly I'm away from my FreeBSD machine, so I can't verify that this works as advertised, but hopefully I've pointed you in the right direction. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
