    properly, be directed to the Tbird users lists, try the following.

    In the Edit -> Settings (that is, Tbird settings, not Account
    settings),  I have

    Fonts for (Latin)
    Proportional: (Sans-serif)  Size (20)
    Serif: Andika
    Sans-serif: Andika
    Monospace: Andika Size (20)

    Font Control
    Allow messages to use other fonts - unchecked
    Use fixed width font for plain text messages - unchecked

    You might prefer a different font to Andika - that is my preference,
    as the most natural font (other than Clean, if someone finds it)

    But, try those settings, and find whether that works for you, also.
    They seem to work for me.
    Minimum font size: 20



    G'DAY BRET! ( err, its prob the middle of the night over there) It's
    2:54 PM CDT here in the US.

    But Anyhoo:

    Interesting, I don't have that "Andika" font on my PC. Where did you
    find that font at?


    Hello, Chris.

    We appear to be 13 hours ahead of you (see my signature), so, the time
    here, is now about 0430. I am a creature of the night.

    Andika? Search for it in Synaptic...
    :)

    I am not sure whether apt find still works.

    Package name is fonts-sil-andika

    I use only the basic Andika font.
