configuring fonts in Mozilla 0.9.6

[chadm1967]

Hi all,

I've been having a small problem with Mozilla 0.9.6 and configuring the fonts. When I enter the preferences of Mozilla and choose the fonts that I'm wanting to use, it will not save them. When I shut down Mozilla and then later restart it, the default fonts are there again (Abisource-arial, I think). This is happening on my Red Hat 7.2 box, both at home and at work, and on my SuSE 7.3 box. This very confusing. When I setup the fonts in Konqueror and Galeon, they work fine.

Thanks for the help.

hello,
i don't know if this helps or not but are the fonts enabled in your XF86Config file? for me it is Load "type1" under the modules section.

Thanks for the reply.....

Well, Load "type1" was not in the XF86Config file so I entered it there. Unfortunately, that didn't fix the issue.

I'm thinking of downgrading to 0.9.5 to see if the problem persists. I think this all started when I upgraded to 0.9.6.

Thanks for the help, though.

Well,

I just reinstalled Red Hat 7.2 on another machine. The version of Mozilla that ships with Red Hat 7.2 worked just fine (saved the fonts after I changed them). I upgraded to 0.9.6 and now I'm unable to save the fonts. This is very confusing.

Well, now I'm having problems getting Mozilla 0.9.6 to save anything that I change in the preferences. *At work, I'm running Red Hat 7.2 and just upgraded to Mozilla 0.9.6. *It won't save the fonts or the even proxy settings that I entered.
I downgraded to 0.9.5 and everything works great. *

For kicks, here at home on my SuSE box I made a bunch of changes to the preferences of 0.9.6. *When I closed out of the preferences and went back in, everything went back to the defaults. *
