Don't you mean "I'm the one"? ;) Heck even at UIUC, where Mosaic
originated, there isn't much of a user base...

Very true. Many poeple would say that not doing "as many html stunts
as Netscrape" is a good thing.

Back when I was running a hacked 2.1, I had font rpblems with
ghostscript when printing from Netscape. This wasn't the same problem
that 4.0 without the updated ghostscript rpms had, since everything
else printed just fine.
So, if you haven't upgraded to 4.0 and or haven't upgraded the
ghostscript rpms, give that a try.
