j.,
I printed your reply. I will play more this afternoon with this.
Yes, I did fully expect some abnormality moving from a 4:3 panel to a
16:9 panel. Guess I am still trying to adjust. Still believe that
wide-screen is the way to go........ :)
Well, finding good 4:3 panels is now getting tough. LOL!
I'll also check out the ctrl+? functions in FF. I have really never used
any of them before. Just never needed to remember this before. Now, it
seems to be part of the game for us "tired eyed" viewers.
Thank you for the suggestions and background.

Well 1st off 1024x768 is 4:3 not 16:9/16:8 so that's gonna result in
whacky screen usage. 1024x768 is also the standard res for 17" so I'd
think running native res. would result is same font size as it's a
bigger monitor, not too mention only native res ever looks good on LCD.
1050-768 is only 282 pixels taller, the rest is the wide screen part,
but you could try to increase the system font size to compensate YMMV.
I run my 4:3 17" FP1702's @ native 1280x1024x75 and use the CTRL++,
CTRL+-, & CTRL+0 keys or mouse gestures in Firefox/Thunderbird to adjust
fonts when they are too small to read.

Ever since I got my Dell E207WFPc 20" wide-screen panel, I have
noticed that web pages always display too wide. I always get the bar
at the bottom of the screen display to move Right to see the REST of
the page.
I can not seem to stop this behavior. Can I?
The Panel's native resolution is 1680x1050x60. I use it with
1024x768x60. I also use analog because my KVM switch will NOT do DVI
cabling.
Two of my video cards will not do 1680x1050x60 at all. And, I can not
read stuff comfortably at this default resolution even on the one PC
that does have a video card able to do this resolution.
Is there any fix, or, happy medium I can try?
Thanks,
Duncan
