Description of problem: Thunderbird has a setting that allows you to specify the minimum font size. When reading RSS feeds in thunderbird, that setting is ignored. Almost all feeds have fonts that are too small to read. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): thunderbird-1.5.0.5-1.1.fc5.i386
Fedora Core 5 is no longer supported, could you please reproduce this with the updated version of the currently supported distribution (Fedora Core 6, or Fedora 7, or Rawhide)? If this issue turns out to still be reproducible, please let us know in this bug report. If after a month's time we have not heard back from you, we will have to close this bug as CANTFIX. Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting information from the reporter. Thanks in advance.
We haven't got any reply to the last question about reproducability of the bug with Fedora Core 6, Fedora 7, or Fedora devel. Mass closing this bug, so if you have new information that would help us fix this bug, please reopen it with the additional information.
In fact on FC7 the minimum font size - and other font size settings - seems to be ignored application-wide.
Ok, it's not *all* the font size settings that are being ignored. Just the minimum font size, and that is ignored everywhere I can see. The "other" font-size selections are just confusing and irritating since you apparently have to set it once per locale - but that's another issue
Since this bugzilla report was filed, we have seriously upgraded Gecko-related packages, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their distribution available. Please, confirm to us that this bug is reproducible on the latest upgrade of the supported distribution (that's RHEL, or Fedora 7, 8, and Rawhide). Setting the bug to NEEDINFO. If I won't get confirmation of reproducability in 30 days, the bug will be closed as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. [This is mass-changing of bugs which seem to be too old and irrelevant anymore; we are sorry, if this bug should not be incldued.]
I'm sure it's still an issue, since it's still an issue in rawhide/f9 with thunderbird-2.0.0.9-2.fc9.i386. The behavior I'm seeing on F9 is that in both mail and RSS messages, when my minimum font size is 12pt, what is actually displayed is 9pt.
Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to investigate the issue further, and we have not received feedback to the information we have requested above, we will assume the problem was not reproducible, or has been fixed in one of the updates we have released for the reporter's distribution. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the latest update of their distribution, and if this issue turns out to still be reproducible in the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional information. Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. [This is a mass-closing request, if you think that this bug shouldn't be closed, please, reopen with additional information.]
