Mozilla seems to ignore my font setting for web pages with the latest trunk build.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit URL

Actual Results:  See screenshots. In my case, the font is too big and is serif.

Expected Results:  See screenshots. Smaller sans-serif font.

This is a regression. Build 20020707 was ok.

By the way, this has nothing to do with http://www.mozilla.org/ . It happens on
every site.

I noticed this today too, on Linux, and was about to go through checkins to see
who did this.

This is really annoying.  I see it in my own build, but I don't see it in any of
the trunk nightlies on Linux.

OK, what I'm seeing goes away when I run regxpcom.  Are you installing nightlies
on top of each other or something like that?  Does it help to run the "regxpcom"
file in the same directory as mozilla?

Comment 8

[Oliver Klee]

Yes, I'm installing the nightly ZIPs on top of each other. I'll try running
regxpcom when I have booted Windows again (working under Linux right now).

What does running regxpcom do?

regxpcom registers all the libraries in components/.  It's normally run as part
of the build process, though (I think), so this is confusing me a bit. 
Nevertheless, it fixed the problem for me...

[Oliver Klee]

Running regxpcom fixed the problem on Win2k for me too.

OK, invalid, since both testing methods are not supported.

VERIFIED INVALID -- always delete your nightly directory (this is separate from
your profile and so should not lose any settings) when installing a new one.
