Hmm, 10.0 is very much 'testing' at the moment - might be best to stick with 9.2.1 for the time being and wait for the tested version in a few months' time.
Yes I think you are right there, I had some problems with the early versions of 9.2, I have both Mandrake 9.2 and Suse 9.0 and windows users, when asked want Suse installed usually "because" it looks smoother"!!!. Nobody ever wants Gnome desktop. Re. books , most people say they have time in lunch hour, on way to work to read etc, but when they get on their computer they wish to use it.
Which version of KDE is installed? FWIW I don't get these problems with the version I am using in Mdk9.2 - KDE 3.1.3 Konqueror 3.1.4 . In Konqueror, Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> Fonts I have minimum font size 7, medium font size 10 (have not altered these from the install defaults) and various flavours of Bitstream Vera for most of the default fonts. (The BBC site may use MS fonts though).
Haven't yet tried any of the recent slimmed-down versions of Mozilla though. A project for another w/e perhaps - I fiddle around for an hour or to most saturday mornings trying to configure something new and not break things that already work :-)

Thanks Syd I am using Suse 9.0, KDE 3.1.4, have been playing around and the News ticker is controlled by the medium font, works O.K. in medium size 10 but I pefer 11. A bit petty, but after the update all the web page appearances changed with no alteration by myself. Have tried Dillo seems O.K. , Most windoze users, where I have installed Linux want Firebird.
Many thanks Nick
