Is this also true for www.debian.org? Netscape has some funny
understanding of HTML. This is from their homepage: "<FONT SIZE=-2
POINT-SIZE="8">" 

This fontsize is far too small for my 1024*768 resolution, so I also can't
read the text. I don't have problems with other sites who don't abuse the
FONT tag. Also try to set the basefontsize to 14 (or more if you like) in
Communicators preferences.

There is a renderer for true type fonts, but you shouldn't need it if it
is only Netscape's site which gives you trouble.

Ciao,
