Jack, you're quite right, I was just making a general comment without
regard to particular fonts.

Well, a long time ago I used absolute sizes, but have not done that for a
couple of years; I always use relative sizes.

Well, I just view this as a continuation of AOLs historical disinterest in,
and non-understanding of, that whole "web thing". They were late to
recognize it's importance, and they still don't really care, IMO. Maybe
their migration to Netscape will help in this regard.
