Bug Description

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

Firefox uses Gnome font settings for interface elements, but these fonts are with wrong size or just looks oddly.

Select for example "fixed-misc 10" font for all fonts in Gnome, look at beautiful clear fonts at Gnome buttons, menus etc, and then check how it looks in Firefox.

Firefox 2.0.0.6 from official Ubuntu repository, Ubuntu 7.04.

Yes, it is. Same behavior as reported previously (
