There is, indeed, an /etc/mozilla/prefs.js. I tried moving that out of
the way, too. Didn't help.
Playing with galeon, I've concluded that it's something with the
mozilla rendering engine (shared with galeon). But it's very odd. I've
tried using a blank user for this, and it happens there, too.
But, wow, on a hunch, I just pretty much confirmed that it's X. I ssh
-X'd to another machine and launched mozilla from there, so displaying
on my current X server. It came up with huge fonts. There's no reason
to believe this other machine had changed in the same way, although it
had rebooted also. I launched with /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin, so
it's a remote process for sure, confirmed with ps.
Hmm, I recall that I did install a whole slew of new fonts a while
back, perhaps it's one of them. Here's what I've got installed, in
case someone knows enough about fonts to hazard a guess. I'm running
debian sarge, but haven't upgraded since Friday (when I upgraded
hoping to fix this).
