Additional Notes for Mac OS X:
The font size of Internet Native Banner in Mac OS is very small by default. However, sometimes in Safari or Firefox, the characters are difficult to read because they do not display clearly or parts of some characters are missing. You can resolve this by turning on the Smooth All Text in Java Applets settings option. For instructions, see Fonts Do Not Display Clearly in Web Browser When Using Internet Native Banner in Mac OS X v.10.4.2.
