Now, if I could just figure out how to adjust the horizontal size of the
lugnet posting window so that I can use the vertical scroll bar without a
lot of horizontal scrolling.  I have a 17 inch monitor but still suffer
this dilemna; I sympathize with those with even smaller display screens.
Hmm, that sounds very odd.  What screen resolution do you run at (640x480?)

Settings indicate 640x480.  My monitor does not support anything larger which
sucks--unless there is some tweaking that I can do somewhere.

A 17" monitor that only goes up to 640x480?  Hmm.  Hmm.  What year was the
monitor produced?  Does it have an 18-pin VGA connector?


and what font size do you use (higher than 12 pt?)?

Netscape v 4.51 is set for Fixed width font Courier 10 allowing document
specific fonts.
Would I get better results with a different font size?

You might want to try the Lucida Sans (monospace) font at 8-pt if you have it
on your system, otherwise Terminal at 6-pt.

Have you experimented with your OS's display settings?  What video card do you
run?

(...) I wouldn't recommend that people use Terminal unless they don't mind translating in their heads when people use characters from the upper- 128. Terminal is an OEM font, codepage 437, like the old PC-"ANSI" BBSes used to use for their graphics. (...) (25 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
