I also use linuxdoc for making webpages and once noticed this. But I
then realized that the conversion to html results in an html that
neither specifies font nor font size. This lets your browser decide
how to display it and most browsers have a setup menu where the user
can choose a default font and size. If a good choice is made (or the
browser originally came with a good choice) then the display looks
pretty good. But in many cases it doesn't look good because the user
has not bothered to set it up.
Could the nicer fonts you refer to be due to cascading style sheets
that are called by a link added to the html doc?
