Fonts and IE

Saturday, May 14, 2005 by Popemobile | Discussion: WindowBlinds

Alright, to get the fonts to work in FireFox you must have negative values on all fonts, so instead of (positive) 12 it's got to be -8 (12 and -8 give you the same result in the preview), but if you set all the fonts to -8 then in IE the fonts on buttons (such as "Search" at google.com) are half the size of what they should be, so instead of 12px they're 6px.

Not only that, but when the fonts have negative settings they also screw up in GIMP.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

FireFox fonts are set by Fonts for classic widgets, which yes must be negative, but as long as fonts are set for menus, system buttons etc., in their sections on explorer tree, they can be positive value and will be used for IE.
Fonts for classic widgets is only used if no font set for say buttons, which sounds like issue you have.
