Here's the deal: I installed the standard mozilla 1.7 without the xft font support. You guessed it, the fonts on this system are brutal! The install wasn't with a RMP file, so I can't uninstall my present version with RMP drake.

 

I went ahead and downloaded mozilla-1.7-xft-gtk2-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2 and extracted it the folder where I downloaded it to. It extracted a "mozilla" folder in the directory where I downloaded it. What do I do with this folder? I can run the xft supported version by clicking on the mozilla icon in this folder, but how do i get rid of the current version...

 

What I did was just copied the newly created mozilla folder and pasted/"overwrite all" in the usr/loca/ directory. It seems to work fine (fonts are much better now), but I want to make sure that I don't waste disk space by leaving a buch of stuff on the drive that doesn't need to be there......Thanks.
