Ah. So every time I go to a different website I should go modify my browser
settings so that I can see the site?
No. The site should be readable with default browser settings.

Glad to know that. I'll switch *immediately* when there is an internet
explorer for Solaris/Linux/FreeBSD/....
But since IE does exist on Windows, which does have to overly large fonts
it's a self-destroying solution. Use a windows PC.

No, the problem is within the stylesheet, as you noted in #3.
And if they followed the style-sheet guidelines, they would use
"Helvetica, Arial, Sans-Serif"
(and why in gods green earth would you put a bad knockoff of a font before
the nice-looking original in a font list? If they have the good font, let
them use it!)
Anyway, the problem is also in the sizing of the fonts, which are absolute
rather than the size references recommended by the working group.
