<<I make fonts a big as I want using Netscape Communicator.>> Ditto...But what do you do when you move to another site? Reduce 6 times?

The way SI is displaying fonts in Netscape is the way it used to work with IE. I was able to deal with that configuration because it allows for a degree of user control without wreaking the appearance of other sites. But the way it works in IE is much worse. A bad typeface is annoying, but make the characters too small and it becomes unusable.

I make fonts a big as I want using Netscape Communicator. Go to View, Increase Font. Keys method is Ctrl }. I hit this six times (using 1600 X 1200 resolution) and get a very readable page. Rick My 2 cents on this fonts issue.I prefer to view the same style and size on all web pages so I have set IE 5.5 SPI to override a web sites default fonts style and sizes. If a site uses frames then only the main body uses my option and some side frames use the site defaults.Easy enough to live with. I guess if one wants to see a variety of different fonts on sites they visit then they,for now,are going to have a problem with SI. To me having different fonts on various sites is like reading a newspaper where the font changes on every page.I would find that disconcerting. To each his own. Ed
