Firefox, Linux & PCReview
Ok, I need some feedback regarding how things look to you when using Firefox to read, write and view posts ... 'cos the default is hurting my eyes and it's bloody small.
The 'default' tahoma looks like Times Roman or Serif, for you who understand Fonts. The only fonts that look correct are; Verdana, Trebuchet MS, Arial, comic sans and courier ... and it looks like 8 point in size. Verdana displays & looks correct.  The text in/on the thread/post buttons are the same ... ugly. I have no problem with the rest of the site ...  Oh, and Konqueror is no problem, except for inserting smilies.

I do not have a working Linux on any machine at the moment but yes you are absolutely correct when you say it looks horrible and difficult to see since I had very similar issues when I had Firefox installed. If I remember it correctly I did some search and was able to make chages within Firefox so it was acceptable. Have you played around a bit?

ah good, it's not me going compleatly gaga.
Quad, I have fiddled and farted around with FF and I can't 'fix' it ... but I have been to other vB boards and don't have a problem ... I now use Verdana to reply but Tahoma seems to be the default for things like the button fonts when replying or posting. Well, I'll just have to get Ian to change the Forum ... I'm surprised how big everything seems/is in Suse dispite a screen rez of 1280x1024, I would expected everything to look smaller. But it is easyier to see with my eyes.

Mucks you should give Opera a try since it is gaining momentum at the moment, no harm and it is now Muckshifter friendly, no ad banner!
Take a look here

Err, no thanks.
The 'problem' isn't Firefox

We posted at the same time Ian. In answer ... not really ... the 'default' font does not like Firefox, or Firefox does not like the default font. Ian, don't think I'm 'complaining' I am, err, no not ... moaning is the word. I just needed to see if anybody else was haveing the same 'problem' ... I wonder if turning off WYSWG would help?

Nope ... the same font is being used in user CP
... FF is rendering this font incorrectly or this font does not comply with standards.
