firefox and fonts

[okrelayer]

I know this has been talked about over and over, and i have done many searches looking to find a good answer but... is there ANY way to make fonts look better in firefox? They look large, and out of place specificly on the forums here at mac rumors.

I have for the first time given firefox a chance to prove it self to me. I enjoy the add ons and the themes ect, but the fonts are driving me mad!

anyone that can help, that would be great.

In FF open preferences>content
You can change the default, default size and in advanced you can change everything else you'd ever wish to.
As far as "better" that's a personal call that you'll have to make through the changes.

I've never noticed Firefox to show fonts differently than Safari. You may want to provide a screen shot to show the difference you see.

I think all you need to do is change the default to Times size 16 in FF, to get it to look the same.

it is times 16, thats the default. Does anyone else's firefox looks as weird as mine? Could someone screen shot theirs?

Mine looks the exact same. I've grown used to it, really.

I never knew it was different.

Firefox 3.5.2

at least i know its not just me.

one question while i am at it. I want all links to open in a new tab instead of a new window.. thats fine, that works perfectly. However, i would also like external links (from say tweetie) to open in a new window. Is there any way to do that?
