i added a line <dir>/usr/share/fonts/truetype</dir> with the
other font directories and i removed the stuff from the wiki in my user.js
file but nothing changed (restarted x too), so now i have an empty user.js
as well. the fonts that i can select in the appearances dropdown are: the
Andales, Bitstream, Comic, Courier, Georga, Impact, Luxi, Times New Roman,
Tom's New Roman, Trebuchet, Utopia, and Verdana. i have the truetype spelled
installed. now i can deal with the pages text if i have to, im still playing
with that. but it's what mozilla uses in it's interface itself that's really
huge and ugly. i can't find any setting within gnome2 or mozilla to change
those. ALSO with this serif font the 2's appear very washed out :(
