Netscape in Red Hat

[FOBSIDE]

I finally got my internet working. Thanks to all those who helped. I have a little problem though.

I don't know if this is a browser issue or a Netscape issue but the font is really small in the browser. I go under VIEW but the options for INCREASE FONT and DECREASE FONT happen to be "grayed out" so I can not touch them. I tried adjusting my font in EDIT -> PREFERENCES but it didn't seem to do anything. Any ideas?

I'm currently writing this from my Windows box just so I can read what I'm typing.

Yes it's like that in RH... you can adjust the fonts in Prefereneces and make them larger... you have to increase the font size quite a bit to make them readable...

Go check out Linuxnewbie's web site. Search around in the NHF files. They have two articles on how to get true type fonts to work with netscape. One method allows you to use your windows fonts, the other leads to an RPM download for linux true type fonts (they call them "web fonts&quot I have tried it, but it is supposed to fix the annoying font issue. Good luck

If you are using RH 7.0, the XF86 4.01 has support for you MS TT fonts. Just copy them out of the C:\Windows\system\fonts directory to \usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts\TrueType on your Linux drive.

After that, you can just edit your XF86Config (or XF86Config-4) file to add support for the fonts. There are many sites on the web that will tell you what to add here, since I can't think of it off the top of my head. Anyway, if I remember, I will post it
