YDNRC. Netscape has never included toolbar buttons for changing font size.
In fact, increase/decrease font size was only added to the menu in version
4. Before that, one had to go into the Preferences dialogue box.

OTOH, Internet Explorer has had font size buttons on its toolbar since
version 2. In version 2, there were separate buttons to increase and
decrease size. In version 3 this became a single button that toggled
between five sizes. In version 4 the feature disappeared. In 5, the IE
toolbar became configurable, and a font size button (which activates a
drop down list of the five sizes) was added to the pool of available
buttons, but not shown by default -- and it's still there in the IE 7
betas.
