Hmm, that can't be right, though.. if I do:

    <li><font size=7>item 1</font></li>

..it doesn't look right in any browser; you end up with a 'base font size'
bullet next to the different sized font. So if the font is large, instead
of getting a font sized bullet (here comes some ascii art..):
        ___
    /\   |   _     ___
    \/   |  /_\ \/  |
         |  \_  /\  |_

..you get instead:

        ___
         |   _     ___
         |  /_\ \/  |
     o   |  \_  /\  |_

It seems all the browsers are consistent in how that's displayed,
including Fl_Help_View.

Since there doesn't seem a way to change the base font, maybe what I can
do for my docs is just make my index bullets by hand:

<UL>
   o One<br>
   o Two<br>
   o Three
</UL>

That seems to at least "look OK" for government work.. few will be able to
tell the difference ;)

I've always hated the HTML spec.. it ignores so many practical needs, it
just isn't funny.
