#2 Excellent -- Two Questions

Excellent work, and congratulations to the Mozilla developers. I have been enjoying Mozilla 0.9.1 since June. It has great features, and has proven to be very stable. It is already in better shape than the 1.0, or even the 2.0, releases of some other major Linux software suites.

I have two questions that I am hoping someone might be able to answer.

The first question involves fonts. My fonts look perfect in Mozilla 0.9.1, yet, on some sites (e.g. news.cnet.com), the fonts don't look right in later Mozilla releases (e.g. 0.9.4 or 0.9.5). I can't see any difference in the configuration, and changing the font resolution in the Mozilla preferences does not seem to fix the problem. Therefore, my first question is this:

1) Did anything change in the font handling, after Mozilla 0.9.1, and, if so, what do I need to do to make my fonts look as good in Mozilla 0.9.5 as they do in Mozilla 0.9.1?

My second question involves Netscape 6.1. For various reasons, I would like to be able to run Mozilla 0.9.x, and Netscape 6.1, at the same time, on Linux, under the same user (as I currently do with Netscape 4.7x and Mozilla 0.9.x). My question is this:

2) How do I configure either Mozilla 0.9.x, or Netscape 6.1, on Linux, to use a different directory than ~/.mozilla?
