AFAIK 1.0 is the so called stable branch, and only 1.4 is going to be  
the new stable branch.

Cool!! But I finally found an answer to only alter the font sizes  
without going for aa fonts:

	http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/debian-user-200307/ 
msg00519.html

Well, my question has basically already been answered in that post, but  
unfortunately I used the wrong terms with the archive search engine and  
so did not find it. What I did was:

In ~/.mozilla/default/*/chrome/userChrome.css, I put

* {
  font-size: 8pt !important;
}

Thats all (I also altered the entry concerning the pop-up menus, but it  
basically is all alredy in the example file). But: what's not in the  
example file: you definitely NEED the "*" before the "{", otherwise it  
WON'T work!!

Hmm, don't know if mozilla 1.0 would listen to gtk1.2-gnome2 (don't  
remember the correct file name) or something.
