Can you link to a implementation of this ?

My gripe with Sebastians page is that I CAN'T override the font settings .. not 
without using the option in Firebird to scale *all* the fonts , and if I do this 
, I will have to undo this when I visit the next site.

Specificly the ' char looks blocky when the font size if too big, and if it's 
much to big the .:; and , char look bad too.

The artwork displays fine in Mozilla Thunderbird with the same font settings.
This lead me to belive that something on Sebastians page cause the font to be 
render in a bigger than normal size that make the ' char blocky
