Mozilla .. still having problems upgrading and other misc problems.

I wanted to upgrade to Mozilla 1.4, 1.3 came with my distro(Slack 9) and I just felt like upgrading. 1.3 is located in /usr/include/mozilla-1.3 and I decided to put 1.4 in /usr/local/mozilla. My problem is that I can start 1.4 just fine, etc.. but I can't use any of my windows fonts. I have 1.3 set up using Times New Roman, Verdana, and Tahoma for various things but I can't select any Windows fonts from the lists when I try to configure 1.4. Anyone know how I can fix this, or some way to move all my settings from 1.3 over to the new install of 1.4? Maybe it's a conflict of having both installed simultaneously?
 
Even when I delete my old profile and let Mozilla create a new one the font issue still arises. In 1.3, what I"m using now, I can just go into Preferences.. Appearance.. Fonts.. and choose fonts from the drop down boxes just as if i was using MS Word, they're listed the same say .. ie Times New Roman, Tahoma, Verdana, etc. But if I run 1.4 and go into the Font selection section I just have a massive list of fonts entitled adobe-courier-iso#####, etc.. for all the fonts, all listed by name ans char set.. What's the deal? Why can't I just configure 1.4 the way I did 1.3? With the nice easy font selection.

In addition, I'm having an odd problem with 1.3 that, if fixed, I might not upgrade to 1.4 anyway. Mozilla seems to be forgetting my settings.. For example it now throws up those "Insecure info being trasmitted across the web" dialogues whether I chose to ignore this warning for future references or not.. also, it continues reverting the start page to Mozilla's start page rather than blank, which is what I keep setting it to. Also, the password reminder thing keeps poping up even if I choose "Never for this site."
 
I agree with ClueLis, you should probably hit Mozillazine. However most development is now geared towards Firebird rather than Mozilla. Perhaps you should make the switch too? 🙂
