Besides all the other problems I've been having with this unreliable piece of crap called Netscape (Communicator), I'm having problem with fonts that are scaled to a size where they are extremely blocky.
What is strange is that if I change the font size preferences, the blocky fonts don't change at all. For example on http://www.etrade.com/, the text of the left-hand list of links (e.g., Stocks & Optinos, IPOs, etc.) shows up in a very blocky font. (Everything else on the page shows up cleanly.) Changing either (or both) of the variable-width and fixed-width fonts sizes affects _nothing_ on that page. I thought that those settings set the screen font size to use to display default-sized (<FONT SIZE=3>, I think) HTML fonts, AND also adjusted the screen font sizes to use to display shrunken (e.g., <FONT SIZE=2>) and enlarged (e.g., <FONT SIZE=4>) HTML fonts. (That is, fonts shrunk from the default were displayed with a larger screen font, but it was still smaller than the now-larger screen font used for default-sized HTML text.) (This is currently with Communicator 4.08, but 4.61 and 4.51 seemed to be the same.) Are web sites increasingly screwing around with fonts in non-standard ways, or is something screwed up (or just not loaded right) on my machine? I think I have the normal X11 fonts installed on my system. Should that be enough? Or do I need special fonts? Do I need xfs? Is there anything else I need (besides an H-bomb to remove a number of these computer-related frustrations from my environment)? Daniel -- Daniel Barclay [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Hmm.
