[aclug-L] Re: Fonts and Browsers

One solution is to go into the "Edit" "Preferences" "Fonts" section and
change the Variable Width and Fixed Width fonts. Times Romans works fairly
well for Variable Width and Lucinda Typewriter (if you have it) is a good
choice for Fixed Width.

There is also a Deuglification HowTO along with other font info at:
