148630 - regular use new install displays huge fonts, root has no problem

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 104345

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Eric Wages]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.18 i686)
BuildID:    2002052316

When running mozilla for the first time as a regular user, the setup script
displays huge fonts. On a 19" monitor, the fonts are 2.5" tall!

A new root installation has no such problem.

I've deleted the .mozilla directory multiple times and rerun, all to the same
effect.

See picture of problem at http://skanky.net/fontprob.jpg

The picture is the first-time dialog, and you can see how big it is on my
virtual screens in the bottom left hand corner  - it wraps vertically on 3
screens!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch mozilla.


Actual Results:  See screenshot.

Expected Results:  Menus should have rendered in much smaller font, as it did
for root.

Seems to be a duplicate of 104345.

As seen on screenshot, gnome is used, so this a surely (99% sure ?) a dup of 104345.

Mark it as duplicate, so ;-)
