I have just installed Red Hat Linux ver 6.1. I opted for the custom
install. After the installation everything worked fine. I can start up
Linux, the X-server, and also Netscape Communicator. However, I am not
able to increase or decrease the font size within Communicator. E.g.:
when you typically view a Web page, you can use Alt+] or Alt+[ to
increase or decrease the page's displayed font size. But these options
are grayed out.

Any help or advice will be greatly appreciate. Please be detailed in
your description in how to resolve this problem.

Lastly, I would greatly appreciate it if you could email me your reply
also, please.

Thank you.

Cameron

To my knowledge this has *never* been possible. They are always disabled.

I've got the same problem. You probably already know this (but just in case
you don't) you can still change fonts via edit->preferences->fonts but it's
a bit more tedious if you want to change them often.

Dear:

In the ".Xdefaults" file, add this line.

Netscape*documentFonts.sizeIncrement: 5

This should pull the trick...

This does not solve the 'Alt+]' font resize thing with any version of NS
I have tried up through 4.72. AFAIK, this is just diabled in Linux
versions.
