	First question: what is kmozilla? I assume this is the mozilla
running on KDE (which is what I have) ?

	Second, the fonts are quite different when visiting all pages (but
let's go with http://www.yahoo.com) They aren't smaller but definately
fuzzy as if it's using a font that doesn't quite match what I have on my
system. I don't quite know how to explain it other then "fuzzy".

	Hmm, ok this I will give a try.

	Thanks
