One more comment. The main reason why people are not able to get good
looking web pages under Linux/Netscape is missing fonts. You get exactly the
same picture if you use ROOT without true type font rendering engine uner
Linux. A standard Linux font package is even not able to produce a good
looking scaled Arial bold, that's why I can not get good looking headers on
my page.

I have also got a message saying

I have seen your pages for a while (a week or two) ago, and they seemed
all right. I am using Netscape 4.75, which is ususally quite good in
handling cascading style sheets. I use them a lot myself.

But I have learned, that after installing a standard linux distribution,
it is a good idea to install all the available fonts in all the available
resolutions - they used to be optional under the installation procedure

Perhaps this is a good idea to install those fonts? :)

Anton
