I suppose it's more of the "dumb down the user interface" nonsense that Gnome et al promulgated.* There are too many easily confused glyphs in Sans-Serif fonts. Thank goodness that in the control center I can set all of the non-monospace fonts at once! Leslie * And while Gnome has done that, they and KDE4+ have gone to extremes to make it difficult to configure their DEs by scattering settings all over the place, and Mozilla seems to want to thwart their users' desire to make their applications user-friendly by hiding most settings in about:config and providing no documentation at all. :-( -- Platform: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.5 - x86_64 Desktop Environment: Trinity Qt: 3.5.0 TDE: R14.1.2 tde-config: 1.0 ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
