Remarkable.... I always see a font like Helvetica displayed in the nearest existent size. (Using Mozilla or Opera, if that matters.) 'xlsfonts | grep helv' reveals that these sizes are 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 17, 18 etc. It might be a good idea to install the msttcorefonts package, to make certain web sites look better. In html, Helvetica is not often coded as the sans-serif font of first choice. S.H. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
