Hi Karol,

   Unfortunately that did not clear it up. It seems like its the main
System Font Size or something like that as even gnome-terminal's menu
font is larger.

   In Mozilla, I can always make the *content*'s size smaller via C--
(control minus) or the preference dialog, but I have not yet
determined how to make its own, system fonts smaller like they
were. The only clue was via the

    Edit > Preferences > Appearance > Fonts > Display Resolution

I choose "Other" and Mozilla asked how long a line was on the screen
and then set itself to 96dpi which was even larger than it is now!

   Oh well. Thanks, Elizabeth
