Not surprising. It uses the font size 1-6 tag for sizing fonts, and that by
force leads to different font sizes in each browser, because each browser uses
a different scale. I seem to recall once being able to set each of these sizes
as a browser option in Netscape, but I don't recall finding that in the current
Netscape browser.
The news that the same HTML will look different in different browsers is hardly
earth-shattering. It's more unusual when you can get the same HTML to look the
same way in all browsers. ;{>}
Have fun,
