Re: [newbie] fonts in Netscape
All you have to do is set the fonts to something more readable in both style and size. that can be done in the preferences. -- Mark Larry is NOT a cucumber...he's a stinkin pickle...

Re: [newbie] fonts in Netscape
There is an excellent Mini-HOWTO on font deuglification that comes with the distribution. It tells you how to set up and use TrueType fonts in Linux. I followed the instructions last night and the results are much better.

Mark Thank you, I did that, it reads slightly better, the improvement is rather minute; before the change, the font was something like size5, from preferences I changed to 24, now is something like size7. May be I can type in 36 ;-) Regards

Even better, download the latest mozilla binary (current is M16, i think) and use it. It is faster, better, and definitely more eye friendly than Netscape's borg.
