Actually, for me, running in 1280x1024 it got better. The old
fonts were impossible to read and I had to configure netscape to overide
the document specified fonts (you can't just change the font size on
those pages unless you also tell it to override). When they changed
their page format the other day, things didn't look quite so good, so
I turned off the override and looked back at the page with the document
fonts. For me, it was an improvement over the old pages.
If you want to select different fonts within Netscape, for pages
like the CNN pages that have specified document fonts, you have to select
the check box under Edit->Preferences->Fonts that says:
"Use my default fonts, overriding document-specified fonts"
If you don't, none of your font selections will have any effect
on the CNN pages and others of their type.
