The tool I used (visual page) requires that you specify "default", or up to
two sizes larger or smaller. The HTML header command also seems to map to
the larger font automatically. It sounds like browsers have internal
defaults that you can reset locally. I don't remember doing so for
Netscape, but I might have.

I'll play around with this.

I was reusing Veijo's graphics, more or less as a temporary measure; I am
pretty sure we can come up with non-white backgrounds, and even to match
the page background color. Ideally someone who is into that sort of thing
can come up with a combination of image and background that pleases more
people. But someone who reviewed the pages locally while I was working on
them said that I needed something other than plain white which so much
text. I am not an aesthete about such things (I don't even have images
downloaded so I have to work to see the page as others do), so I've relied
on others' impressions.
