I can't get TrueType fonts to display correctly in Mozilla (a build from two
nights ago). Do they work for you? I'm specifying 'times new roman' and
'courier new' and 'arial' for the three fonts (serif, monospace, and sans-
serif, respectively). But it's displaying some other font instead. Netscape
Navigator 4.6-4.7, OTOH, handles the TrueType lookups just fine, but always
displays them in 12 pt. :-(

Hmm, I haven't had anything _but_ problems getting NN to display readable
text under Linux. NN looks awesome on Win32, and sorta OK on MacOS (the
Mac has crummy fonts by default), but NN still "ain't there" in the font
department under Linux...unless...do you know some magic tricks???
