Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness. Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

That's just weird. It looks right to me. I wish I could help more. Maybe there's another Mac user here who can check it out...

Actually, just to jump in here, there's no change in font size on my monitor either. Everything Rio's done looks like normal sized font.

I'm using Netscape 4.75 on a Compaq.

It looks fine in Mozilla. (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016). I think Rio might need to upgrade to a more recent version of Netscape Communicator to see it right.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Mozilla on the PC is fine, but in Netscape 4.78, there's no size change.

Testing

edit: Nope, no joy in Netscape

OK, I've got Netscape 4.79 on my home PC, and it's also not doing the small font thing. Lemme try one more thing:

Am I small?

Nope. Definitely a Netscape 4.X bug.

Yeah, but it works on Netscape over at WX.

Wow, you're right! I looked at the page source for posts on both systems and neither one is altering the font tag. I wonder if it's another browser-won't-override-the-stylesheet issue?

Could be. There's also that thing with the font and pre tags in Netscape that I experimented with last week:

This place (and LiveJournal) pretty much forced me to move from Netscape to Mozilla. Too many gotchas. OTOH, I have all sorts of problems using Mozilla with the Microsoft Knowledge Base. You can't frelling win.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

FWIW, all of those have looked small in Opera. (er, all that were supposed to. the rest looked normal-sized)
