RE: Netscape 4 font sizing?

Earlier on I had asked a question re Netscape 3.01 vs 4.01 and fonts, etc
being too large in 4 compared to 3.01. Since then I discovered that the
problem was that 4 responded to a large fonts setting in Win95 
"display properties" "settings" 
where as 3.01 maintained the font sizes set in the HTML code regardless of
the Win95 fonts setting.
I have switched the setting to "small fonts"  and altered specific fonts
for different areas of Windows display, resulting in Netscape 3.1 and 4
displaying fonts in the same size.
