Internet Font Problem

[Capital]

I have an issue with IE, I guess that's what happens when multiple people use my computer, where some of the fonts/print is normal size but others seem to be huge. Does anyone have any idea what/if a setting got changed and/or how to fix it?

Thanks in advance...

check under "View-->text size" it may be set to largest. The text you see as normal right now is probably driven by CSS and is independent of the setting on your browser...

reset the test size to normal and you should be fine...

It may not be another user, Capital. I had a similar effect even though no one else was using the PC. I couldn't understand it.

However the explanation soon became apparent. If you touch the Ctrl key and then scroll down a web page with a wheeled mouse the text size will change. I was accidentally touching the Ctrl key without realising it when I was surfing - the one bottom left of the keyboard.

Check it out: hold the Ctrl key down and roll the mouse wheel back and the text will increase in size. Roll the mouse wheel forward to reduce it.

Mac, that is very true and the biggest thing is that on some sites, namely our own FOFC, the effect is unnoticeable since the whole text of the site won't even change size. Then you get to another size and you either see monster size letters or lawyer size finer print fonts on the screen :)

Capital, glad that solved it. :cool:

I never knew about the Ctr-wheel and its possible that is what happened.
