You'll need to create a .Xdefaults file for your user account too.
There are several ways in which you can change it for all users on
your system.
One is to copy /usr/doc/netscape-common-4.72/Netscape.ad to
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Netscape and then change the line
*documentFonts.sizeIncrement: 20
to
*documentFonts.sizeIncrement: 5
(But note the caveat at the beginning of Netscape.ad before you do this.)
The second way is to add the requisite line to /etc/X11/xinit/Xresources.
Note that you may need to create this file. Also, the exact name and
location of the file could vary depending on distribution. Also, all
bets are off if you have your own .xinitrc file.
