Hello all:

While at my UNIX workstation which I use as a desktop, is there some simple
way to increase the font size in Netscape?

It's in the Edit->Preferences menu.
On the left-hand edge, under the menu item "Appearance",
you should see a couple of sub-menus. If you don't see
them, click on the triangle next to Appearance. Click on
the sub-menu labeled "Fonts".

You might need to select 'always' as well, for all those crappy sites
that look OK with Windoze Internet Exploder, but have never been tried
with any other OS or browser.

If more is better, are double standards better than single ones?

Unfortunately this is a UNIX problem! Font sizes _are_ wrong on UNIX
and right on M$.

The question is if there will ever be a fix on font size calculation
for X....

As HTML specifies font size 3 is as normal in I don't think any OS can be
blamed for the many web sites that use the size 1 and 2 for the majority
of their text. Size 1 is *supposed* to be small. (Unless M$ displays
these all in same size.)

I fixed my Netscape by telling X to use 100 dpi fonts, not odd at all
because that's how many dots I have on my screen. Normally it defaults to
75 dpi fonts. e.g. in file /usr/dt/config/Xservers add -dpi 100 the Xsun
parameters.
