To see the document specified fonts those fonts have to exist on your
computer.  There are a few things you can do to make it a little
better for you.

        1 - get a truetype font server like xfstt (check
            www.freshmeat.net) 

        2 - install some truetype fonts once you have xfstt up and
            running. 

        3 - configure X to load the 100 dpi fonts first.  You do this
            by simply re arranging the order they appear in
            /etc/XF86Config. 

        4 - I don't know if this step will work, but you could
            try. (backup the files 1st).  Edit the preferences file in
            ~/.netscape/ and add the line:
            ("browser.screen_resolution", 120) 
            exactly as it is there with the parenthesis and the quotes
            and comma. [1]

Footnotes: 
[1]  There are 2 preference files in ~/.netscape/  liprefs.js and
     preferences.js I don't know which one you should edit, or even if
     you should edit it.  I came across that tip while setting up
     Mozilla which is very much like Netscape (same source at least)
