This is spin-off off the bug 76752. Basically, in the "test" Bugzilla 2.17 the fonts are much bigger than in the current 2.8. I'll attach screenshots shortly. I am running BuildID 2002120221 (trunk, xft) on Red Hat Linux 8.0 (no nonstandard fonts installed).

I changed the CSS to format the <pre></pre> sections that comments use to look more similar to the other text. Funny though that you get serif fonts for global fonts but I get Helvetica Sans-Serif. I am attaching a screen shot of what my screen looks like. Here is the relevant CSS section. I could run the pt sizes down some to make it look better. body { font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; background-color: #FFFFFF; margin: 0px; } pre { font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; } th, td, p, li { font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; }

> I am attaching a screen shot of what my screen looks like. Right now new Bugzilla looks exactly the same for me, as it does for you (well, except for all those nifty "[ ] Private" checkboxes ;-) ). > Funny though that you get serif fonts for global fonts but I get Helvetica > Sans-Serif. It's serif in 2.8 and sans serif (sam as for you) in 2.17 - not sure what's up with that, but IMHO serif is nicer...
Did something just change a few minutes ago? Now the font is very small (still readable, but somewhat smaller than what I would consider comfortably readable). I can attache a screenshort, if you want.
Actually yes, one of the web developers informed me that I was using pt sizes instead of pixel sizes which would be more preferable. So I changed from pt to px in the CSS file. Although the text looks fine for me in Mozilla 1.0 it may change for others. If you could attach a screenshot then I can play around with the sizes a little more to get them more comfortable for you.
Created attachment 88733 [details] Another screenshot. Here is how it currently looks for me.
The font seems fine now.
Not sure why this is still open. Closing. Dave
