Mozilla Firefox Font Problem

I just applied a new theme to my computer, and when I opened FireFox, the text in the toolbars and address bar etc has reverted to Times New Roman. Needless to say, it looks terrible. Is there any easy way to rectify this, and is it a problem with the theme, or Mozilla?

A shot of the problem attached:

It's becuase that theme is using a font you dont ahve on your computer.

To fix this open up the .jar file and go to Global/Browser.css and search for the font.

the font is most probably the Lucida Grande, Lucida Sans Unicode or Lucida Console. Most Safari-looking themes apply them.

I did as you said, and found this. I changed the font as below:

.tab-text {
font: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
       padding-top: 1px;
}

However, that did not change anything. Is there another CSS file I could look in?

and i checked - i have all the fonts you mentioned installed

I don't know if this will help.

If you download the extension Preferential, it shows a whole list of new strings which you can add to the .js files to mod your browser. What you need might be in there.

Thanks silenceedge - I found a great font options area in there. For some reason, my new theme had reset the option to Times New Roman!

Cheers ;)

No problem. ;)

Glad that helped you out. :lol:

you can change global default fonts by going to about:config and finding the entry called "font.default" and changing the value to "serif" or "san serif" depending on what type of font you want.

but you need to specify what those are. go to tools > options > general > fonts and colors and specify the serif font and the sans serif font. :)
