linux fonts
Who says linux sucks at font rendering. Well it did once.
These screenshots are from XP SP1 and my Gentoo instalation. Firefox was compiled with pango support.
Do the fonts look better on more recent windows versions? I hope so ;)
some font resizing code
Font size is now customizable. The setting should be remembered. I found that text size across browsers was not the same. Javascript and cookies must be enabled for this to work. Set it on the main page sidebar.
clickable plain text links
A nice firefox extension I found today is linkification. It converts all text links that are not clickable to clickable links.
One of the features is that you can change the appearance of the link to distinguish it from other links. You can do this by either selecting colors in the preference dialog or you can use the linkification-ext class in your custom
userContent.css file. For more on the userContent.css file, see the page on Mozilla config files or Mozilla's customization page
For example, if you put
.linkification-ext {
text-decoration: underline overline !important ;
color: pink !important;
}
in your userContent.css file the links would look like this:
