The reason for this is that Netscape wants to be able to render the page more or less the way the author intended it, whatever your fonts are... Send your web developer a note thanking him/her for making their web page absolutely illegible to the Unix community, and/or those with High-res displays, by not taking the time to see what their pages look like on non-windows machines. I have had this complaint about several websites myself. Every book or document about writing good HTML that I have read has said NOT to do this kind of thing... yet everybody does it anyway. Oh well, just deal with it I guess. ******************************* | Derek D.
