He probably meant firefox when he wrote foxfire.

Firefox used to be called Firefox[0].

So, it is the slackware build that there is
something wrong with then, but what?
Slacks original Moz. wont show MNGs either
(yes libmng is there).

I have a solution for firebird(fox) (and mozilla ?).
You need to change or create
~/.phoenix/default/xxxxxxx.slt/chrome/userChrome.css

and insert in :
/* change the font size and type of menu items */
menubar > menu {
font-size: 10px !important;
font-family: Comic Sans MS, sans-serif !important;
font-weight: bold !important;
}

I have seen this on
http://flii.us/myworks/phoenix/pages/chrome.html
I hope that help your eyes :-)

I still cant get anything to work. It appears all the fonts change except
for several of my main programs. like the toolbar of mozilla. Thing is,
if I log into gnome instead of KDE then the fonts are correct and i can
chnage the setting by edting my fontpaths. But in KDE I have no control
over those fonts, only the ones you can change in the control center.
There has to be a global easy solution. but im not familiar with KDE's
Library. If any one has a clue please speak up. Appreciate any help I
can get. And i will try to do what you said again steelneck.
appreciate the responce

This probably won't help but.....

I was having a similar problem with fonts, it was a problem with
dpi, what I did was create a file in my home called .xserverrc
It contains one line:

exec X -dpi 100

yes its just gtk apps under KDE. they are fine under gnome
its just in KDE that im having this problem. Im pretty much anewbie
to linux. Using some time but still a lot of stuff I dont know
I am more familar with Gnome so I think im just going to
put in the time in setting up gnome and using it. I just
wanted to get the KDE working because it seems to be the
main desktop for slack and is what the majority of the
packages are for. I will keep playing with it just so
I will next time but have pretty much given up on KDE.
sorry my replies have taken so long, school it eating up my
time.
I appreciate all the replies. thanks Slackers
