  Product:           Netscape Navigator
  Operating system:  Unix (generic)

If the fonts that your Netscape Navigator is using on your Unix system
are too small, then go into the "Fonts and Colors" section of the
Netscape Preferences, and select "Large Fonts".

If even that is too small, then it could be that you are using 75dpi
fonts on a 100dpi monitor.  You can see whether you are using 75dpi or
100dpi fonts by looking at the output of the command "xset q" and
looking for the "Font Path" entry; if directories with "75dpi" in
their names appear before directories with "100dpi" in their names,
then you are using the smaller set of fonts.  You can find out the
real DPI (dots-per-inch) of your monitor with the
"xdpyinfo | grep resolution"
command.

To change the font set from 75dpi to 100dpi, first run the command
"xset q".  Copy what it shows you as its "Font Path" entry, then run
"xset fp=" with the same path, except with all of the 75's changed to
100's.  For example, if "xset q" shows you:

  Font Path:
  /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/

then run this:

  xset fp=/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,
  /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/

(Note that the entire command must be on one line; I've broken the
line here for readability.)
