Table Caption, Another HTML Bug?

[Patrick Armbruster]

Computers today *still* are based on 72 dpi. Somehow Windows forgot that
and switched to 96 dpi (or did so from the beginning). Of course,
depending on the resolution of your screen (which you can change) your
dpi are always different. Neither 72 or 96. But it was 'agreed' upon 72.
Now that 'the world' uses 96 dpi in browsers, pages started to look ugly
on the Mac, so Microsoft invented 96 dpi browsing on Macintosh.

So basically, we're doing it wrong intentionally, because else we get
tiny, tiny, tiny fonts on our screens.

OW should have a percentage setting like Galeon on Linux. That helps. :)
