Quite often - far too often - the netscape displays webpages with the
font so small that I can barely read what is on the page. If I crank up
netscape's font settings to 18 or 24 I can sometimes read them, but then
eventually it starts displaying these miniscule fonts. Sometimes the
size of the font varies from visit to visit on the same page --
seperated by only a few minutes. Does anyone have any idea what causes
this and how I can stop it?

I find that pages in Netscape are generally much more readable if youQuote:> Quite often - far too often - the netscape displays webpages with the

You can override these document specified fonts by going:
Edit->Preferences->Appearance->Fonts
and then choosing:
"Use my default fonts, overriding document-specified fonts"
in Netscape Communicator 4.0.x.
This works pretty well since it prevents netscape from guessing wrong about
what is the best substitute for 'Arial', e.g., and choosing a painfully small
font as a result.

1. Font problems w/Netscape Comm 4.04 on Solaris 2.6
Does anyone know of any libraries/fixes for Netscape Communicator 4.04
that will allow it to properly
display fonts/HTML tables/whathaveyou whilst being invokd under Solaris
2.6?
Currently, all mail headers in Messenger show up as hyper-text lines
rather than in letters, AND
on certain sites with table formats, the tables are not displayed. The
version I am using is Standard
Edition and is for Solaris 2.5.1;unfortunately, there are no 2.6
versions available.
Post or email suggestions/hints. Thanks in advance
p.e. virgo
