Internet Explorer 5 gets round this problem on Macs :- 'Unlock Web pages with text that was previously too small to read on the Macintosh. Internet Explorer automatically displays Web pages at 96 dpi (the standard resolution setting for Web sites created on Windows-based computers), so they are easy to read on the Macintosh. You can also choose to view pages at the standard Macintosh display resolution of 72 dpi, or any other display resolution you prefer.' Jon
