Well, that did work for the dialog text; and then on a lark, I tried
button
{
font-size: 5mm !important
}
To increase the size of the button text to 5mm (12pt is still too small
on my display) and that worked for the text in the buttons. However, in
the edit preferences dialog much of the text is still too small (like
the Navigator->History panel) so there must be more of these settings
that I haven't discovered yet. Seems that a default size for all of this
stuff would _really_ be nice! Anyone know of such a setting for mozilla?
Thanks,
Bob
