Oh?  Try www.sieler.com, then www.linuxcare.com.  The linuxcare page
specifies font size everywhere...not just the toolbar.

Matthew did linuxcare a favor ... for all that they might not care ...
by pointing out that the page has a number of problems.  Font size
*is* one of those problems.  On my 21" monitor, at 1600x1200, I find
their font just a bit too small to read.  (Better than some brain-dead
pages, like www.altavista.com!)

BTW, you *DO* want to point out to your *own* site's webmaster that
