The Firefox 2 & 3 defaults are actually serif, sans-serif, and monospace, all generic families that render according to the system's mapping of specific named families to the generics. On SUSE and Mandriva, simple modifications (placing Liberation* at the tops of the alias lists) to a file or two in /etc/fonts/conf.avail were enough to change from the distro-specified families to the Liberation families so that the entire desktop, including Firefox, used them instead of DejaVu or Vera whenever generics were specified. The same ought to work in Rawhide and F8, though as to FF3 so far I haven't been successful trying. :-p > Side note: that extremely big close button in FF3 is extremely ugly! > > [1] http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/6141/firefoxdefaultpf5.png > [2] http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/6871/firefoxliberationax1.png > [3] http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/7083/firefoxfontsnu7.png -- "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
