Hey Kevin,

I have almost the exact same setup.  I would say that Netscape works fine, 
but it is often hard to read.  I find that I can change the settings to use 
larger fonts (I can be specific if I email from home while in front of my 
machine) but I seem to need to do this for every execution (the settings do 
not stick).  For me, this is a minor irritation as only the dumbest sites 
seem to create important text in tiny fonts (redhat.com was one IIRC:) and 
because I can go surf on .. ahem .. another operating system if aesthetics 
matter.

There is a "font-deuglification" HOWTO at www.linuxdoc.org and some other 
info about X.  I'm near to totally useless with X and this documentation 
didn't do much for me.  I think I installed a TrueType font server and I 
have true type fonts but all fonts still seemed pretty crappy in limited 
futzing.

If you have better luck, let me know what you've done.

-Alan
