You need the latest Pale Moon just out 25.6.0. It fixes this problem and is mentioned in the Pale Moon Release Notes.

"Added a feature to allow icon fonts to be used even when users disallow the use of document-specified fonts. This should retain full navigation for icon-font heavy websites (no more dreaded "boxes" with hex codes) when custom text fonts are disabled."

Fx 40 or 41 will fix it there. I still have Verdana Bold as the font for all websites but I no longer have the problem of the little dots in place of icons here and at some other sites. The new icons are so extremely tiny that I can't really tell what they are....the old ones are much better. But I'd rather have real tiny icons than huge ones. Rather ironic that everyone wanted gigantic icons for years (not just website ones but taskbar, systray, desktop, etc) and now everyone wants extremely tiny ones when seems to me now should be when larger ones are popular because monitors are large now...mine is 24" and my Samsung Smart TV that I can use as a monitor is 46".

I am very glad the problem is fixed on one browser now. I wonder if Microsoft will do anything for IE 10? I can't move to IE 11 unless I move to Windows 8.1 Pro. I suppose there are a lot of happy folks out there now as there have been a lot of complaints around the web about these new icons from users who want to use the font of their choice at all websites and have been able to do so quite happily until this trend with these strange little funny looking icons.

Thanks - I missed the new PM as I had not checked lately.

This would save me some CSS, and may well be my final push to abandon FF completely on all new enough PCs, as long as the XP editions of PM have the capability too, and all of my extensions or their PM substitutes work well enough.

The nice thing about using custom user CSS is that most of the browsers can use it, including IE, PaleMoon, and FF::

Just write one custom sheet and point all your browsers to it for consistent settings between all browsers. Upgraded browsers, new browsers, etc. just point to the CSS file for your custom font display settings. No need to go and set a bunch of preferences for every new browser.

The whole reason the browsers' all allow easy configuration of custom user CSS is to do the sort of things you and Mele20 want. Fine custom control over page display and it's not limited to just font control. Among other things, text box sizing control can also be handled.

Thanks for the tip.

Actually, my use for CSS so far has only been to make the UI's of particular Mozilla browsers look and/or behave differently than their defaults.

This is the first time that I have considered using CSS to change the CONTENT of a website, and only out of curiosity (trying Mele's favourite font) and necessity (now that Justin has embraced 'fonticons').

Your idea sounds interesting for the purpose which you meant it, but since some of my existing CSS is browser-specific, I'm not sure that I could use a common CSS file for multiple browsers.
