cinnamon version 4.6.7
linux kernel 5.14.21-150400.22-default

1- in 15.3 i was install “ttf-mscorefonts”, but find it under diffrent name in 15.4 “fetchmsttfonts”. is both the same?

2- after install the page find the facebook posts font change (small font), and when remove the package facebook font return OK.
i use firefox 91.11.0esr.
i try go to firefox setting -> General -> *Language and Appearance to change font and font size but it did not effect.

so could i install **fetchmsttfonts without effect on facebook?

3- is there’s some way to control “yast control center” fonts and size (how change the font and size)?

YaST2 is a QT application. To adjust its font sizes, try qt5ct, or edit font= in ~/.config/Trolltech.conf directly.

You have to set firefox settings to use the system fonts if you want your font to be used. That’s probably what you are looking for.

They are two different names for the same repo. My repos have conveniently short names containing the string repo only once. OSS.repo on mine obviously goes by some different name on yours. What matters is the URI that goes with the name:

It’s kinda hard what your asking for.
It’s firefox that’s having a problem in your case right?
One thing to do, so those fonts don’t show smaller in firefox is to set the size of the minimum fonts in firefox fonts settings. like setting it to 12
I doubt that you already done that.

grep command give me different URI results(it did not continue $releasever instead of 15.4, is that ok?
