Off topic, but of concern ...

I am thoroughly frosted off with all the no-hoper web sites out
there that specify the MS fonts in <font> tags. Whatta mess!
On Macs and Linux and all other non-Windoze platforms, they render
as crappy substitution fonts. On my RH 6.1 box, they render as
an unreadble courier font about 4 points in size <sigh>.
Of course the other bitch about Windoze-only web sites is they
set <font size=2> to cater to Windoze browsers tendency to
have the default font set REALLY REALLY big.
I have found a solution: on dynamic sites I create, the font size
for conceptual sizes like small,normal,medium,etc fontsize is based
on what I find in the HTTP_USER_AGENT environemnt variable.
