Francisco: Are you getting outline scaling or bitmap scaling?
Please produce a simple test case, and attach moz's output with NS_FONT_DEBUG=9, 
and a screen shot.

thanks

Well the testcase is simple enough. Just go to any page.
http://espectro.hypermart.net/home.htm will do
Click on view source.
Look for commented text, like "mstheme"
It will look green, and BIG, the size of the pref you have put, so if you put
font.scale.blahblah 43 then it will look very big

Next, send an email to yourself with the text /home/something/ in it. It will
look BIG too, must be the same thing. Screen shots with size 43 of both issues
and debug following

There are two separate issues here:

1) font scaling with default pref settings. I opened bug 95280 for this.

2) ability to turn off font scaling using prefs
   without other side effects such as oversize monospace text

Francisco: I would like to suggest we focus first on bug 95280.
