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.
