Description Arthur Hagen 2008-08-21 09:13:35 UTC 
seamonkey (and possibly firefox?) inherits the font name and size set in gtk preferences, or gnome "Appearance" panel for "Application Font".
However, it does not inherit the style or weight.

If setting a bold italic font for Application Font (i.e. IRIX style), all gnome aware apps will change their menus and buttons to a bold italic font -- except seamonkey, which will change the font and font size, but keep it regular/normal.

Workaround:
add the following to ~/.mozilla/default/*.slt/chrome/userChrome.css:
menubar, menubutton, menulist, menu, menuitem {
	font-weight: bold !important;
	font-style: italic !important;
}

Not sure what to do here
Comment 2 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-08-28 18:45:17 UTC 
no idea as well.
Comment 3 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-08-29 10:04:19 UTC 
Seamonkey is/was being ported to use the same toolkit as Firefox 2 and 3... maybe the transition is not complete?

In any way, I would say this bug is ripe for upstream.
Comment 4 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-04-26 16:47:01 UTC 
any updates here ?
Comment 5 Nirbheek Chauhan (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-07-07 16:34:43 UTC 
This is definitely an upstream thing, nothing we can do here...
