Hi,
Thanks to Rog131 for the help on setting the GTK font prefs - that seems to fix the font issue on the firefox menus.
Now I have two more problems/issues with Firefox:
1: The fonts on any web page I access with Firefox (only those fonts in BOLD) are distorted. I can't see any options within Firefox to change the font attributes (bold, Italic, etc). Any bold text in the firefox menus/windows/tabs is also appearing distorted... Strange...
Could this be caused by missing fonts, since I have the option (under Firefox Preferences->Content->Fonts & Colours->Advanced) "Allow pages to chose their own fonts..." enabled...
See the following image, which shows the distorted fonts:

2: I have a clean install of Kubuntu 7.10 i386 and want to upgrade Firefox from the current version of 2.0.0.6 (which I installed using Adept) to the latest version available - 2.0.0.12. I've downloaded and unarchived the Firefox 2.0.0.12 package from the mozilla.org website, but when I try and run the "updater" executable from within the Firefox 2.0.0.12 folder, it doesn't appear to do anything.
I guess I'm spoilt with the ease of updating thing in WinXP (just double click and off it goes!), so I think I need a few pointers on how to update Firefox on Kubuntu!
As always, any help or comments greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Mike.
