I'm familiar with that problem, and have them installed. That doesn't fix the problem with pages that used absolute font sizes because they wanted pixel-control over there page or those that used text in images, both figuring that anyone with enough money to own a monitor that does 1600x1200 or better readably has to much money to be interested in their product, or something equally silly. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
