body {font-family: WarpSans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:11px;}

WarpSans is a bitmap OS/2 system font available exclusively in two
flavors: 9pt normal and 9pt bold. It's normal use is for system widgets,
menus and dialogs. It's too small for my system running 1280x960. For
these uses on my system I have substituted a large font.

When visiting this site in Moz on OS/2, there is no way to make the text
big enough to read, short of rebooting into low resolution mode, or
using a special user stylesheet just for this site, which means closing
Moz, substituting the special stylesheet, finishing with the site, then
restarting Moz with a normal user stylesheet that doesn't break most
everything else.

Not accessing this web site is not an option, because it is an exclusive
domain of certain software required by typical OS/2 users. We shouldn't
have to use a non-OS/2 machine to visit there, but that's almost what
they require. Mac, Windoze and Linux systems don't have WarpSans, so
zoom works OK for them.

AFAIC, an author's stylesheet font-family specification should not be
paramount. Just because the specified font is not available in a size to
accomodate zoom should not be reason to not zoom. Some other font that
can display at the requested size abolutely should be substituted in
this case.

Does anyone know if there is an open Moz bug that would cover this
problem, or one that has been duped to something else or wontfixed? 

Note that due to bug 230899 or bug 30896 or maybe some other bug that
doesn't exist or I couldn't find, I could not post this with a current
Moz version without multiposting. (See bug 176238)
