Looks fine under my Linux Netscape.
But then, I'm running a TrueType Font server, and have Verdana installed, so it
all looks as it should. Shouldn't Netscape use the default, readable, font if
it can't find a match? (ie; I think Netscape is partly to blame for stuffing up
fonts...)

FYI: I need TTF support to create images in the Uni Corporate Style using
particular fonts; the fontserver works very well, and combined with Gimp, is
one less reason to reboot into Winblows!!

Under Debian:
   apt-get install xfstt
