RE: common font errors even on pro-designed sites

I just checked my IE View->Text setting and it was indeed set to 
"Smallest".

Which raises the question: since this was my default IE 5.5 installation 
that came with a fresh install of Windows ME right off the CD, doesn't that 
mean there are probably a lot of users with this setting?  Hence, that a 
lot of users are having the same font problems when viewing these sites.
