343005 - Font setting-dialog way too small when win-UI font is larger then "Tahoma"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 283697

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Klaus Lepschi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

The font setting-dialog ist way too narrow when Windows is running with a different font-setting for dialog-box-text than "Tahoma 8pt". See example-URL, nuff said.

That annoyance came to life ever since someone decided to make the preference dialogs static in size. Under Linux, however, the dialog is still resizable so this is limited to the Windows environment (from what I can check).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set Windows UI-dialog-Font to "Verdana 9pt"
2. Open advanced font-dialog in Firefox-preferences
3. Behold

Actual Results:  
The dialog box turned out to be way too narrow

Expected Results:  
Use some function similar to "getTextExtent" to adjust dialog width, or make the dialogs resizable again (as they've been before 1.0.5 or whenever)
