Just for the record, the fonts used on the menu bars etc by Firefox 2 can be changed by making the adjustments to the section GTK in System settings | Appearance | GTK. Nothing I have done seems to affect the programs mentioned - I can add jscalibrator to the list. When I changed over to Ubuntu 6.10, I kept hard disk with the previous Mandriva 2006. I intend to install said disk in a repaired computer, and I shall try to reproduce the fault there. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions - even though nothing has worked!
