Just wondering if there is any fix to this at all?? I tryed the hole Ctr thingy but that dose not do much. It makes it to big and makes things all pushed up and all.

I like PIE?

As for fonts not being clear if you are using an LCD monitor then I would suggest the resolution is set wrong in Ubuntu

The font size in firefox can easily be changed, hold down the ctrl button and press + to increase the size

Changed res and it now looks a little better ^__^ But the font is still a little funny. The hole CTR thing was the first thing i tryed. I am using a LCD

That could be something funny in firefox, I had a problem like that once and I went in to the firefox preferences and forced certain sizes of fonts.

Most standard LCD's are best at a resolution of 1024*768 I believe, if you can't get that check your video drivers. That window title bar is huge, I have my res at 1280*1024 and mine is only about .5cm
