(...) different sizes? Of course, I can't see that, because *everything* has fonts that look too small in Solaris/Netscape, so I require all basic text to be displayed at what Netscape calls 24pt (more like 14pt). HTML is designed for that kind of (...) (23 years ago, 21-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.publish)

(...) Out of curiousity, I tried this on my Mac (iMac 333, MacOS 8.6 - yes, I am a ludite). I got the same 'too small' with MSIE 4.5, but got a good font display (I assume the issue is the radio buttons on the right) using Netscape 4.76. Ray (23 years ago, 21-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

I have not had time to look properly at the pages yet, so I can not say how close he managed to get. (...) :-) Jacob (23 years ago, 22-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.publish)

(...) Noooo! Just make things right. Also, all those annoying, much too wide tables, makes the site almost completely unusable for me (unless I use lynx). If you want to make a multi-column layout, please do it with CSS. Jacob (23 years ago, 22-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.publish)

(...) Agreed. Netscape (Unix) & fonts have never got on particularly well 8?( but the user should be able to decide what size font to display (and all other characteristics) with hints only from the site developer. ROSCO (23 years ago, 22-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.publish)

(...) In most cases it helps a lot to set a relative table width, but even then you will sometimes run into problems it parts of the content _is_ wider that the specified table. Jacob (23 years ago, 23-Jan-02, to lugnet.publish)
