Greetings,

You can adjust the font sizes of netscape by finding the resource name of the item
you want to change, and then putting the change into your ~/.Xresources file. The
resourse names can be found in the file 'Netscape.ad'. It should be in the netscape
directory if it's installed. For instance, on my system its
'/usr/local/netscape/Netscape.ad'.

My entries to adjust the menus, bookmarks, etc.  are as follows. You'll probably have
to adjust the size.

 ---------------------------

Netscape*fontlist:
-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-110-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*
Netscape*XmTextField.fontlist:   -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-110-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*
Netscape*XmText.fontlist:           -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-110-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*

Netscape*XmList*fontlist:           -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-110-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*

Good Luck
John
