what you're seeing is one of the things folks coming from windows get
freaked out over...no true type fonts. You'll have to install support for
true type fonts if you want them. Look around, you'll find the information.
I haven't installed any yet, trouble is if you must spend time using windows
when you boot back into to linux it does take some getting used to. If you
use Linux the majority of the time you tend to get used to it. I suppose
your eyes adjust.

Linux can get complicated enough without making it more so..
Just go into the Edit, preferences section and change the font
and/or make the fontsize larger. It still won't look the way
you are used to seeing it, but you can make it all easy to read.

1. Slow Download times Linux 2.0.34 & Netscape 4.05

Downloads are exceptionally slow as well as the time it takes to load
web pages.  I have my modem's serial port set to spd_vhi and use Linux
2.0.34 with Netscape Communicator 4.05.  I can't believe Windows 95
works faster with my dialup internet access than Linux.

Do I need to tweak any of the Netscape settings?  Thanks for any help.
