Recently after upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04/Firefox 3, all of my CSS fonts have been HUGE! I didn’t have the opportunity to look for a solution, so I have been using Opera as my primary browser. After finally getting a little time to dig, I found a quick fix using the following steps.

1. Type “about:config” in the address bar of Firefox
2. Accept the crazy warning about voiding your warranty
3. Change the setting of “layout.css.dpi” from -1 to 96 (or 72)
4. Now all should be fine in the CSS/Font world
