Better looking Firefox in Gentoo

In Firefox 1.5, go to Edit » Preferences » Content » Fonts & Colors » Advanced.

Then, set these parameters:

• Proportional: Serif (Size: 16)
• Serif: Bitstream vera serif
• Sans-serif: Bitstream vera sans
• Monospace: Bitstream vera sans mono (Size: 12)
• Display Resolution: System setting

You should also check that the following boxes are ticked: Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above.

Don't even need to restart to see the difference.
