1. instead of "finding a windows-based laptop" you could change
netscapes' settings to set your own font instead of that in the html.
2. microsft's internet explorer is far better in interpreting CSS than
netscape.
3. the problem is that you don't have "arial" font by default on your box.
opensrs web designers should put "arial,helvetica" instead of just
"arial" so unix and mac users could read their pages without using
a magnifier :)
so the actual problem is with your tv (netscape)
