HowTo: Mozilla, set minimum font size

Default minimum font size is too small for me. I found a way how to define miminum font size in built in browser.
By befaullt some configuration setting does not exist.

1. Open browser. In address bar type

Code:

about:config

2. In 'Set Preference' group, in Name textbox type

Code:

font.minimum-size.x-unicode

, in Value

Code:

16

3. Save new string by pressing 'Set Preference' button.
4. Repete steps 2-3 for

Code:

font.minimum-size.x-western

Code:

font.minimum-size.x-cyrillic

Code:

font.minimum-size.x-user-def

Restart browser.
In example 16 - minimum font size for text in browser window, change it to your as you like.

Re: HowTo: Mozilla, set minimum font size

Did you find that by searching in these forums? Because it has been covered here before.

Re: HowTo: Mozilla, set minimum font size

Could you post a link here, because i found HowTo change font size in Opera only, not in Mozilla (os2008)?

"about:config" is pretty much a bog-standard feature of Mozilla.

It's nice to know though Nokia didn't deem it too confusing for usr:@tablt and decided to disable it...

Re: HowTo: Mozilla, set minimum font size

Ok. Way to do modificatioin easy:
File with Mozilla user parameters is

Code:

prefs.js

located in

Code:

/home/user/.mozilla/microb

.
I copied "GE Inspira" and "Lucida Console" fonts to /usr/share/fonts. Then

Code:

fc-cache -fvr

uder root and user.
Using 'nano-tiny' made changes in 'prefs.js':

Code:

user_pref("browser.display.use_document_fonts", 0);

user_pref("font.default.x-cyrillic", "sans-serif");

user_pref("font.default.x-unicode", "sans-serif");

user_pref("font.default.x-user-def", "sans-serif");

user_pref("font.default.x-western", "sans-serif");

user_pref("font.language.group", "x-cyrillic");

user_pref("font.minimum-size.x-cyrillic", 16);

user_pref("font.minimum-size.x-unicode", 16);

user_pref("font.minimum-size.x-user-def", 16);

user_pref("font.minimum-size.x-western", 16);

user_pref("font.name.monospace.x-cyrillic", "Lucida Console");

user_pref("font.name.monospace.x-unicode", "Lucida Console");

user_pref("font.name.monospace.x-user-def", "Lucida Console");

user_pref("font.name.monospace.x-western", "Lucida Console");

user_pref("font.name.sans-serif.x-cyrillic", "GE Inspira");

user_pref("font.name.sans-serif.x-unicode", "GE Inspira");

user_pref("font.name.sans-serif.x-user-def", "GE Inspira");

user_pref("font.name.sans-serif.x-western", "GE Inspira");

user_pref("font.name.serif.x-cyrillic", "GE Inspira");

user_pref("font.name.serif.x-unicode", "GE Inspira");

user_pref("font.name.serif.x-user-def", "GE Inspira");

user_pref("font.name.serif.x-western", "GE Inspira");

user_pref("font.size.fixed.x-central-euro", 16);

user_pref("font.size.fixed.x-cyrillic", 16);

user_pref("font.size.fixed.x-unicode", 16);

user_pref("font.size.fixed.x-user-def", 16);

user_pref("font.size.fixed.x-western", 16);

user_pref("font.size.variable.x-user-def", 16);

Now webpages looking like on notebook.

NB: Change "GE Inspira", "Lucida Console" to your existing fonts.

But you're doing a nice job of covering it, don't let me stop you.

Well done and easy to follow...

What are the default values for the fields in your first post?

Re: HowTo: Mozilla, set minimum font size

Default values does not exist, except user_pref("browser.display.use_document_fonts", 0); Default -1
I made changes in Linux Firefox menu, then copied changes from configuration file Notebook to configuration file N800 opened in nano-tiny in ssh session. Using "standard" about:config is too complecate.

'GE Inspira' i replaced to 'Tahoma', which is more readeble on N800 screen.
