In Netscape Edit [menu]->Preferences, click on "fonts" under
"appearance," and choose your favorite faces & sizes. 

While you're at it, if you're in the classic OS, change the
variable-width font from Times (made for printing) to New York (an
original Mac font optimized for screen viewing - MUCH easier to read
on the screen in the same font size, by using it I could go down one
font size & still read it easier than Times).  I don't know if OS X
has this one.

HOWEVER, if the page is described by a style sheet, these will usually
override your choice - and you're stuck with the page designer's
choice, usually made on a PC.  8.5 points seems to be a favorite size
for these types, and is practically illegible on a Mac.  

The only way I know around this is to use iCab, which will allow you
to set a minimum font size and show NOTHING smaller, style sheet or not.

(I'm still fighting with our church webmaster over this one - he
figures I'm the only person he knows on a Mac, so why bother to change
the font size?  The only alternative is for me to take over the
[volunteer] position.  Aargh, just what I need, more volunteer jobs.)
