Title: Firefox appearance lacking - fonts missing?
Post by: Rick429CJ on April 11, 2025, 04:43:52 AM
When I have Firefox open in Sparky, its appearance isn't as good as windows or other Linux distros I have used. I wonder if there are fonts missing that are altering its appearance. How can I fix this?

BTW, Have you tried reconfiguring system fonts yet?  (https://i.imgur.com/8tU9he6.gif)


So, you can use the following commands to do so:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config

sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig
