Wow - thats hard on the eyes... wait till you read the fine print :)

I am using Communicator 4.61. I did some playing with the Netscape
app-defaults file and found that by setting the following resources to
'scale' (default is 'noscale') that some control of the font size can be
effected. At least I can read the page.

Default was:---------

*documentFonts.defaultFont*iso-8859-1.prop:	adobe-times-100-noscale
*documentFonts.defaultFont*iso-8859-1.fixed:	adobe-courier-100-noscale

*documentFonts.defaultFont*UTF-8.prop:	nsPseudoFont-times-100-noscale
*documentFonts.defaultFont*UTF-8.fixed:	nsPseudoFont-courier-100-noscale

------------

After change:
*documentFonts.defaultFont*iso-8859-1.prop:	adobe-times-100-scale
*documentFonts.defaultFont*iso-8859-1.fixed:	adobe-courier-100-scale

*documentFonts.defaultFont*UTF-8.prop:	nsPseudoFont-times-100-scale
*documentFonts.defaultFont*UTF-8.fixed:	nsPseudoFont-courier-100-scale
