Prettier fonts for Thunderbird?

[wilberfan]

I'm frighteningly new to Sabayon (been an Ubuntu Boy since late last Summer), and would like to have prettier fonts in Thunderbird...

Someone in the irc channel said there might be a FLAG (??) setting (perhaps I'm misremembering what he said) that would compile the source with truetype fonts?! (Does ANY of that make sense? LOL)

Right now, some of the fonts look fine--others look horrible...

[edit] I just searched for mozilla-thunderbird in portato--and I don't see ANY font-related flags there... was I led astray in the #sabayon irc room?

[2nd edit] I just did an "eix mozilla-thunderbird" and got all of this:

$ eix mozilla-thunderbird
[U] mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird

Are those all the available flags? If so, I'd say there IS no truetype-related font flag??

Not tried it myself, but perhaps editing the userContent.css file and/or userChrome.css file?:

EDIT: Or configure a different HTML font?:

Remember Sabayon is Gentoo. Have a look at this from gentoo-wiki: HOWTO Xorg and Fonts.

I assume you have tried "Edit", "Preferences", "Display", "Fonts".
