Firefox font in Ubuntu 7.10

Velenoso · Dec 4, 2007

Hey guys,

I have a quick question, why is it that in Ubuntu firefox, the default font is different to firefox in Vista? It's quite annoying adjusting when switching between the two... Any way to change it, etc?

Thanks in advance.

Ubuntu 7.10 comes pre-installed with a Firefox addon, called Foxbuntu I think. You could uninstall that. It might also be Ubuntu's system font, which you could change in the settings. Haven't got Ubuntu running right now, so don't know exactly where to change the font.

You need to install msfonts aswell, i use automatix ( www.getautomatix.com ) as its nice and simple and has most of the popular installs for ubuntu.

...or without using automatix

, open synaptic and search for the package msttcorefonts.

Yeah, but some people get nervous when they see commands like that
