My trick was always to create a gif if it simply HAD to that different, to g'tee a display. I would not recommend using fancy fonts for any web page, for the reason you have mentioned above. What I meant was that one should change the fonts and/or font sizes that are in use in the browser to something else that is also widely available (or a close substitute exists). For example, one could change from 72dpi Helvetica to 100dpi Helvetica or TTF Arial (which is 96dpi). Similarly, one could switch from Times to Times New Roman, or from Courier to Courier New. Also, font sizes (in points) can be adjusted to be as large as in other browsers. Despite all this, however, a page should still look the same in Konqueror and Netscape as it does in Mozilla, assuming the HTML coding is done well. The only difference will be that Konqueror and Netscape use smaller fonts; the contents and the content layout should be the same. If formatting is a priority, and if one has reason to worry that their information won't be rendered well in all browsers, PDF could be the answer. Adobe's Portable Document Format, being PostScript-based, is designed to look exactly the same wherever it is viewed, no matter what the platform is. In Windos, the only way (AFAIK) to create a PDF document is to pay Adobe hundreds of dollars for Adobe Acrobat (the creator, not just the reader). GNU/Linux has some useful open-source command-line tools (part of the ghostscript package) to quickly and easily create PDF files. Of these, my favourite would be ps2pdf. Since just about all GNU/Linux software that can print to a printer will also allow you to print to a PostScript (.ps) file (since printing in GNU/Linux is usually done in PostScript), all you need to do is print to a .ps file and then use ps2pdf to convert it to a PDF. More information can be found at the command-line by typing man ps2pdf. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan. There are two major products that come from Berkeley: LSD and UNIX.

[newbie] stylesheet and pages
I had a cell in a table as given below which gave bigger fonts in winme ns
and IE and also in mozilla and galeon. But in ns and konq in linux gave small
fonts.
td bgcolor=#ff00fffont size=7 color=#FF face=Arial
Black, Photina Casual Black, TahomabcenterXYZ/center/b/font/td
Now I wanted to shift the font to stylesheet. I have done as below.
.pt {
color: white;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 7;
font-family: arial, helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif;
}
While testing I used the variants of class as td.pt and also font.pt
I have the following lines in page.
link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=mystyle.css /
...
in body in a table,
td bgcolor=#ff00ffclass=ptXYZ/td
for td.pt
td bgcolor=#ff00ff class=ptXYZ/td
for font.pt
td bgcolor=#ff00fffont class=ptXYZ/font/td
Nothing works as the original lines in any of the browsers. Any clues?

You probably just need to change the font settings (font selection size) in
Netscape and Konqueror. All the browsers should implement the HTML properly
(except maybe IE), but some browsers will render the page on a smaller scale
than others.
