Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you
possible issue with the German package ...
... the help file is in english.
But it seems that som locale settings are broken, cause in the German forum we get some hints about extension issues (localised befor 17 and english only sice the updates for 17 an 18).
Always
The helps files for all releases of TB have always been in English. The extension issue could not be reproduced in my testing nor did it make any sense logically since the installer and launcher don't mess with extensions.
thank you Yanni

When useing thunderbird, I
When useing thunderbird, I set it as my default email client.
But, It set the thunderbird.exe as the entry menu in my xp start menu which I surely don't want.
I am wondering if someone could make a change to this.
changing the font
Hi there
love the apps, but can someone tell me how i can change the fonts of sunbird and thunderbird
at the moment the default font for all the buttons is some awful attempt at joined up writing.
can someone please tell me how to change this, as its unusable for me at the moment.
Thanks in advance
please, no support questions on different apps on a newsstory
in sunbird advanced user content: goto tools/options/advanced/aboutconfig, search for font.default.x-yyy (yyy can be UTF8) you can change the one fontname for your
default setting eg utf8 from serif to Times New Roman or else -> I don´t recommand messing with the about:config unless you have a backup of your data folder and at least know what you are doing! I have some doubt about That...
thunderbird: tools/options/view/formatting-fonts and coding
Perhaps there´s a corruption in your apps that they don´t show the fonts correctly or is it just the font that annoys you?
thanks for the response This
thanks for the response
This seems to be an issue when using wine to run the app.
It seems ok on windows. Its not the font of the text for writing emails and such, its the font for the icons at the top of the screen (i.e get mail, write, address book) thats the problem.
and any text inside menus and such.
aah, I understand
gonna test it with ubuntu+wine this evening and come back..
AFAIK simeon uses wine with linux, he never reported this problem.Anybody else can confirm?
So, till later..
I´m back:
ubuntu 8.10,installed on a winxpsp3 with wubi.exe, newest stable wine:
no fonts issue, looks pretty good, perhaps time to change your linux settings/distribution?
