[ILUG] fonts in netscape

[ILUG] fonts in netscape

hi, I was wondering could anyone recommend any good truetype fonts for
netscape.  I installed the xfstt server yesterday and it works ok, netscape
recognises the truetype fonts.  Times-New-Roman seems to be quite good for 
normal font size but isn't that readable at smaller sizes, the text looks 
a bit bunched or something.

a picture of it here:

Are there any fonts that look better at these sizes?  Or is there any way 
of adjusting the font size for truetype fonts?[1]  I have 'Use my default 
fonts, overriding document-specific fonts' selected but that doesn't help 
when the web page specifies tiny font sizes.

[1] 'Increase font' and 'Decrease font' are disabled in the view menu.
     In edit->preferences->fonts '0' is the only option in the size-selection
     box and 'allow scaling' is disabled.
