I'm familiar with that problem, and have them installed. That doesn't
fix the problem with pages that used absolute font sizes because they
wanted pixel-control over there page or those that used text in
images, both figuring that anyone with enough money to own a monitor
that does 1600x1200 or better readably has to much money to be
interested in their product, or something equally silly.
