Fixed Width Fonts allow some
"variety of characters"
within the context of any
Web pages.
Remember..., for you to actually "see" the fixed width font..., the page you are viewing must be using the fixed width font format.
Not all Pages use fixed width fonts.
To change your Fixed Width Font:
From the Netscape Toolbar...,
Select Options, then General Preferences, then (Use the Fixed Font:) Choose Font...
This feature is important to the "Design" (Editing) of pages, but of limited value from the Browser. Set your preference, and forget it!
