I'm using Firefox 2.0 on Windows XP.  Your pages are currently 
displaying fine, for me.  I notice thatyour solution to the above 
discussed problems seems to be using:

     <pre><font face="Arial" size="2">
     ... Image Text ...
     </font></pre>

This works well, and is probably the most cross-browser solution. 
However, it still requires the viewer to have the Arial font loaded or 
mapped.

Another approach which should be a bit more system-fonts independent, 
but requires a more up-to-date browser, would be to use inline styles:

     <pre Style="font-family:Arial,Helvitica,Sans-Serif;
      font-size:extra-small">
     ... Image Text ...
     </pre>

(set font-size and font-family as desired, of course).

Alternatively, simply using "Sans-Serif" for the font seems to work OK 
on my system (it automatically gets remapped as Arial), but I don't know 
if that is a general solution, or specific to the settings on my system.
