I went to the Mozilla site and got the one for Linux, right? Actually,
up2date has never worked, it always locks up at the "rmp
interdependencies..." check dialog box. Freezes every time!

I recently got the latest Mozilla 1.7.2 and set it up independent of

and crummy the fonts looked. Then on a hunch I opened the F2 version
(1.6) and the fonts look fine! What gives?
Well, without knowing which Mozilla package you installed I'd guess you
installed a version with "crummy font support." You need to install a
GTK+XFT build of mozilla to get pretty antialiased fonts. And it
doesn't look like mozilla.org provides those any more. Firefox does
provide them.
Now, the question is why you're trying to install Mozilla 1.7.2
"independent of Fedora 2." You really should be using up2date or yum to
keep your system current. The current Mozilla package, from Red Hat,
for FC2 is 1.7.2.
Run (daily or weekly):
up2date
Or:
yum update
