Thunderbird fonts too small, lines too narrow, can user css fix line width too?
The default font size in Thunderbird message lists and menus is unreadably small. Trying to impose a readable font and readable font size using the following user css makes the text overlap because the lines are still too narrow:
@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
/* Global UI font */
{ font-family: Andika !important; }
{ font-size: 16pt !important; }
Is there a hack to make the lines wider, so text will not overlap text?

I need to modifify #threadTree for the message list and #folderTree for the folder list.
height: 20pt !important, margin-top: 12pt !important, and margin-bottom: 12pt !important have no effect.
Okay, this cleared things up:

I get some screwy alignment, but readable text size and spacing with this user css:
@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
/* Global UI font */
- { font-family: Andika !important; }
- { font-size: 16pt !important; }
/* Message List */
- threadTree {
font-size: 16pt !important;
}
treechildren::-moz-tree-row {
margin-top: 4pt !important; margin-bottom: 4pt !important;
}
/* Folder List */
- folderTree {
font-size: 16pt !important;
}
treechildren::-moz-tree-row {
margin-top: 4pt !important; margin-bottom: 4pt !important;
}
I hope it helps someone else!
does the percentage scaling work better perhaps.
{ font-size: 16pt !important; } font-size: 150%;!Important. OR font-size: Large
Large works about the same as 16 pt.
150% doesn't fit on the screen. The top of one letter pokes up from the bottom.
