Set Fonts, Languages and Encoding


Comodo IceDragon lets you change the way web pages are shown on your screen. You can configure the fonts, color and language of page content.


The following links below explain more about:

  • Configure fonts and colors
  • Configure language

Configure fonts and colors

Choose fonts

  • Scroll down to 'Language and Appearance' > ‘Fonts & Colors’
  • Select the font type and size that you want the browser to display:



  • Click ‘Advanced...’ to configure even more detailed settings:



     
  • 'Allow page to choose their own fonts, instead of your selection above' - Deselect this check box to enforce your settings. This will stop websites from overriding your choices and using their own fonts and colors.
  • Fallback Text Encoding - Web content usually includes a character set command which tells the page how to display the text. The encoding means pages can correctly display characters from various languages. For example, ä, å, ü, あ, ஔ etc.

This setting lets you choose the character set IF it was not specified by the page. Default is current system language.

Choose color
  • Click 'Colors' beneath the 'Advanced' button to open the colors interface box.



  • Click on the color patch and select the desired color from the palette to change the colors in which the text, background and links will show.
