Can you add a Go button at the end of the url address bar?

that's correct but this feature is still more or less incomplete for those who often look other pages besides x-western (I tend to visit many x-baltic sites, and sometimes x-cyrillic). It would be rather annoying to make different menu items / buttons or whatever for different page types and then think which one should be used for the page you are visiting. It's more or less tolerable now but as for perfection, there should be some universal options IMHO.

andre -
the macro scripting will be getting better, i hope, but even now you can do better than what you described; you could simply add the different character sets to a global macro that changes all of them... then it would work (in theory) with whatever kind of page you happen to be viewing... i haven't tried this, but maybe you could, and if it works out, it could be added to the doc on the subject?

(sorry, i meant andres, not andre)
as you can see, i have enough trouble with my native language
in case that wasn't clear, i mean something like this:
fontsize {
&nbs menu = Font Si&ze
&nbs togglepref(INT, font.size.fixed.x-baltic, 21,13)
&nbs togglepref(INT, font.size.variable.x-cyrillic, 22,16)
&nbs togglepref(INT, font.size.variable.x-western, 22,16)
}
that probably won't look right after i post it, but you get the idea...
does something like that work?

arghhh... a little extra brain-dead today.
i'll try once more:
fontsize {
&nbs; menu = Font Si&ze
&nbs; togglepref(INT, font.size.fixed.x-baltic, 21,13)
&nbs; togglepref(INT, font.size.variable.x-cyrillic, 22,16)
&nbs; togglepref(INT, font.size.variable.x-western, 22,16)
}

Actually, as a further suggestion, this can be done more comfortably IMHO in that way
fontsmall {
menu = Small
togglepref(INT, font.size.variable.x-western, 15)
togglepref(INT, font.size.variable.x-baltic, 15)
togglepref(INT, font.size.variable.x-cyrillic, 15)
}
fontsmaller {
menu = Smaller
togglepref(INT, font.size.variable.x-western, 16)
togglepref(INT, font.size.variable.x-baltic, 16)
togglepref(INT, font.size.variable.x-cyrillic, 16)
}
fontmedium {
menu = Medium
togglepref(INT, font.size.variable.x-western, 17)
togglepref(INT, font.size.variable.x-baltic, 17)
togglepref(INT, font.size.variable.x-cyrillic, 17)
}
fontlarger {
menu = Larger
togglepref(INT, font.size.variable.x-western, 18)
togglepref(INT, font.size.variable.x-baltic, 18)
togglepref(INT, font.size.variable.x-cyrillic, 18)
}
fontlarge {
menu = Large
togglepref(INT, font.size.variable.x-western, 19)
togglepref(INT, font.size.variable.x-baltic, 19)
togglepref(INT, font.size.variable.x-cyrillic, 19)
}
and then adding a separate Font menu to the menu bar.
Thanks anyway for the good point!

In addition, there seems to be some trouble with the proportions of displaying fonts on webpages. Sometimes if the <div> or <p> or something similar is fixed in the html (say, 9pt), it may appear very small and increasing fonts by macro only increases other stuff like <h2> or <h3> but not the small fonts, so the page may appear quite unproportional. This forum page is a very good example of that.
I am also not sure whether Mozilla's
user_pref("font.minimum-size.variable.x-western", XX);
and all the similar settings work properly.
Does anyone know any more about that? (In Opera, for example, you can set all styles as you like - or, at least, after I configured the settings, most of the pages appear to be much more proportionate there...; I'm looking for an option to configure K-Meleon likewise but there seem to be only the mentioned settings).
Is there a total list of <b>all</b> Mozilla possible user_prefs somewhere?

Andres,
I've looked for a master list of Mozilla prefs and I don't think such a thing exists.

Andres, you might want to hack around in K-Meleon/res/ directory. There are CSS files which are used in rendering default views and also couple of language files. Perhaps you can tweak one of those.
