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. >2.

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. >Hope this helps!
