Basically, I like the page. The reason the fonts aren't showing correctly is
that the CSS is not correct for Netscape, nor MSIE, for that matter. Either
lose the CSS or implement it correctly. You're calling for Verdana, but the
very few who still use Netscape are seeing the default, usually "Times."
You're also calling for font size of 8 pts, but I'm seeing the default in
MSIE.

Netscape 4.7 or less, and to a lesser extent 6.0 and above are about as far
away from W3C compliance as heck, especially as far as CSS is concerned. You
pretty much have to ignore inheritance and define all tags. I mess up quite
a bit myself, and then someone points out that some part of the page
rendered in Times and I have to go see what tag was there and define it for
Netscape. Fortunately, IMO, Netscape is almost history. I would hope that
they can come up with something good, but, after 6.0 I wonder.

Just some CSS tweaking needed here.
