Re: [PLUG] mozilla goes south, huge fonts in menu

[Martin DiViaio <scatterbrained@usermail.com>]

It sounds like something is hosed in the XF86Config file or in your font
directories.

If you are using one of the X login clients, reboot the system into 
runlevel 3 then start X manually with:

startx > .xerrors 2>&1

Once X is up, look at the .xerrors file and see if X is complaining about 
problems with your FontPath directives.
