No Bart, that does not affect the display in that way - whatever the
font setting, it applies equally on both the browsers.

You could try one thing though:
  Check the Edit*Preferences*Appearance*Fonts tab in NN 4 and see if
  the sizes against the Variable/Fixed Width fonts match those you see
  in the dialog box that comes up when you select the Options*General
  Preferences...*Fonts*Choose Font... in NN 3

  It could be that your default fonts are set to different point sizes
  which leads your browser to display the pages in different fonts as
  HTML usually uses relative point size of 1-7.

  Also, you might even be using two similar fonts altogether!
  ... ... Nah!

See you around.
