  Most pages are optimized for viewing with browser windows of 1024 x 768 pixels or larger (min 800 x 600) using a current browser. We have tested most of our site with popular browsers such as Explorer 4.x or higher and Netscape 4.x and higher, FireFox 2.0x and higher and Safari versions 1 thru 3 for Mac OS X.  
       
  Even though our site was designed and created on a Macintosh, we have tried to use font settings that will work and be compatible on a variety of systems. The default settings for font sizes and screen rendering on most pages are controled by a cascading stylesheet, and are such that the site should render fairly well in most up to date browsers that can handle CCS. In some cases older pages may render more faithfully using Netscape Navigator, it should still be fine viewed using Internet Explorer.  
  Our CSS Stylesheet settings

Fonts

Our Stylesheet asks your browser to dispaly text in specified sizes, and requests one of the following fonts to display the text:
Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, Swiss, sans-serif
In other words, your browser is asked to show the text using one of the four named fonts if installed or in the default sans-serif font your have selected for your browser.

  Does your browser overide our page settings?

Font Sizes

The default font size our stylesheet sets for fonts is 12px (pixels) for body text.
Check the settings in your browser if your fonts appear too small or too large. (Netscape settings Explorer settings)
If you have your browser set ot override our CSS settings, the text on the page may end up being smaller or larger than we requested.

 
  Click here for a graphic image of this page so you can see what we intended In addition to font sizes and styles, newer browsers may let adjust for either 72 dpi or 96 dpi resolutions in the rendering engine. Mac's were originally based on 72 dpi which is related to a print imaging standard (picas and all those things). If your viewing of our pages looks off, you may want to check this setting.  
  Minor Differences

Despite our best efforts, things may still not work out. We apologize for that.

For reference, here is a screen shot of this page in Netscape, and here is the same screen shot in Explorer.
