Hi Doug ... Although I sent you a private message, I thought I'd address this aspect here. With Netscape 4.7 even if I specify a specific font in the HTML code, I can still set my preferences to another font face, and adjust the size. From what you've written I gather that that's not always a possibility with other browsers and systems. Is that correct?
I really want to put stuff up that's accessible to everyone, and that was in my mind when setting up the page. But, if there's a better way to do it than I've done it, I'd like to know about it. Thanks!
