Ubuntu (Crunchbang) fonts problem

[manic111]

I've just installed Cruncheee, oddly enough on my Eee PC. For anyone interested it's fantastic.

I'm having only one problem, which is that on the OCUK forums, the fonts are HUGE (running Firefox). On all other websites they are fine. Any ideas?

Ctrl + scroll down (or the down arrow) makes the fonts smaller in firefox (up or scroll up makes them bigger)

I know, but it's not ideal All other websites are fine without needing to zoom out, and things like the trust button, and the info of the poster to the left of the post become really really small if you zoom out so that the text is a decent size...

EDIT:

Here's the forum at 100% zoom:

Weird, huh?

Humm that is weird...

Tried any other browsers? Opera for example?

What's it say in Firefox -> Edit -> Preferences -> Content -> Fonts & Colors in the size variable? What happens when you set that to a smaller number?

What's the system DPI set to? I keep mine huge, on the order of 180, because it blows everything up for easy couch-surfing on my TV. 90 is a better number for a desktop. Calculate your DPI and input the correct number. I can't remember where to find this setting in OpenBox. Probably in a config file in your home directory.

Hmm, I just reset the system and it seems to have sorted itself; whether Firefox's font settings didn't reset when I reset the Xserver or something I don't know, but for now I'm sorted. Cheers

I have this on my eee901, really pleased as I was just looking for a distro I could install on it and be done without the hassle of getting wifi installed. Did the job for me!

Yep, I've got it on my 901 as well. I previously had Ubuntu installed, with Adamm's kernel and the netbook remix front end, but found it a little unstable, and a few things didn't work; the mic. was pretty dodgy, as was the webcam, and there were no speed options for the CPU. Cruncheee is awesome, really impressed so far.

One thing I have found is that my battery life has been cut from ~6 to ~4.5 hours from Windows. Is this the same with you? Have you got any font problems in FF?

 

[RobMunfy]

if that was aimed at me, i don't have any font problems in FF and i've never had windows on it to try!
