After much research about fonts and installing them in Linux one of the little
pearls I discovered was that the X font server will by default use the
smallest font size that is available, which is normally 75 dpi, but you may
find it more useful to use fonts that are at least 100dpi, so you need to
change the deafult to the larger setting by switching the two default font
sizes.
Of course if you do not have particular font installed on your system then the
application you are using will use whatever default you have previously
specified -- in Netscape you obviously do this in the Preferences.
Now unfortunately I cant remember where I found that reference but here is a
place to start:
