Firefox fonts Ubuntu Karmic 9.10

October 31, 2009 | Filed Under Uncategorized 

To fix the strangely large Firefox fonts in Ubuntu Karmic:

sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-hinting-slight.conf
sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-no-sub-pixel.conf
sudo ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.available/10-hinting-medium.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/.
sudo ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.available/10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig

Thanks to this post on the Ubuntu forums.

    Thanks Carlo! That worked a treat.
    I didn’t do the command
    sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-no-sub-pixel.conf
    because that file doesn’t exist on my system.
    But the problem was sorted using the rest of the commands.
