What are the default fonts in Firefox and how do I find them?

[Monique]

whoops, I played around with the fonts a bit and forgot what the default settings were so now my webpages look weird. Could someone look what's under 'Tools-Options-Fonts'?

Font: Times New Roman
Size: 16

Ohh, it seems to be a bit more complicated. Here is an image

hmmm.. times new roman looks weird, but those settings w/ verdana seems to work.. thanks :)

You know I thought Times New Roman was strange to have too. I think Verdana may be the standard. I am using firefox 1.5 beta, so that may be why I am using Times.

Oh, cool! I'm glad you asked Monique! I've been trying to set up Firefox to my liking in the lab...even if I have to put up with XP on the lab computer, I'm not going to put up with IE. I got a lot of it customized to my satisfaction, but the fonts looked all huge and stretched out and just generally harsh on my eyes, but I hadn't yet found where to change that (I don't need to read the page from the other side of the room). Now I know. Yippee!

Yeah, I had the same problem that the fonts at a site looked huge so that's why I was fiddling around with it I changed the size 16 to 13 so everything looks uniform now.
