Xplicit · 07-25-2003, 09:49 PM

Okay, ive searched everywhere for info on this...nada.

My fonts in IE just went from like 10pt to 12.... and bold. I've powed down & rebooted but its staying this way!!

Every webpage looks fucked up. I have no idea how this happened, and its only in Internet Explorer

Has anyone else experienced this? Solutions?

I don't even want to admit how many times I accidentally did the click/scroll thingy before I realized there wasn't some bizarre conspiracy to change my text size...

This is the reason why everyone needs to use stylesheets on text-based sites. Imagine how many 'dumb surfers' have their text size at 'large' and have no clue how to change it back to normal. If you dont have stylesheets with fixed text sizes your site will look like crap to them.

So, how many times did you accidentally do the click/scroll thingy before you realized there wasn't some bizarre conspiracy to change your text size? You're among friends, we won't tell anyone.
