Douglas,

That works. But it isn't a menu. I need something that pops up a list, gets
a selection, and leaves that selection after the list disappears, in that
size 100 font.

And BTW, with netscape none of the styles for fonts will work without a
"font-family: " directive listed. Netscape will just ignore it.

And to repeat, it seems a true type font renderer is required for Netscape
to do such scalable fonts. Since I still use Slackware I had to do it by hand:

- I downloaded and installed xfstt.
- I pulled Microsoft's TT fonts (http://www.microsoft.com/truetype). Note that
  the Win32 package isn't a self extracting ZIP file, only the Win16 3.1 
  package is. Also I never could get the Mac package to download at all.
- Drop in the fonts, sync with xfstt, and fire up the font manager.
- Now netscape sees the TT fonts and you can select as the default fonts.

It also makes all the rest of the pages that Netscape renders look so much
better. I plan to install TT on all my machines.
