My suggestion: dump Netscape and upgrade your KDE-2.0.1 from the SuSE-7.1 disrto to KDE-2.1.2 from the SuSE ftp site. Konqueror from 2.1.2 is all you'll need for 95% of your browsing needs.
I've got to disagree vigorously with that one. I'm often finding sites that Netscape will handle correctly (ugly though Netscape may be) and Konqeror won't. If the 5% of sites that don't work with Konqueror include ones that you want, then Konqueror just doesn't hack it. A Linux purist might say "if Konq can't handle the site, I won't go there", but for most ordinary mortals that's not a very productive attitude.
My pragmatic compromise: install both, use Konq where it works and Netscape where it doesn't.

The problem the original poster complained about is actually solveable.... and fairly easy once you know how. Click Edit / Preferences. Go to fonts, and select the option "Use my default fonts" Make sure you define default fonts that actually look good and work, and are the right size. This is not a Netscape/Linux problem, but more of a general Netscape/UNIX problem. You will face the same issue on Netscape on Solaris for example. Clayton
