did you try to change the fonts in Firefox and Thunderbird?

you mean where you have fixed, proportional and serif and so on?
that area has me sort of scared :)

If you're that big of a ***, then you'll have to live with the fonts
the way they are. Sheesh.



You could also try adding in some truetype fonts. On my debian testing
system, I can add msttcorefonts which gives me a few nice fonts to use with
firefox and thunderbird. If you want nicer fonts, you are gonna have to go
play with scared...

I've also copied a bunch of fonts from a windows system here when it was
not looking and installed them in Gnome. I imagine adding fonts is just as
easy on KDE; though I admit to not having used KDE for some years.


"easy" is not how I would describe handling fonts on any Linux distro to
be honest.
