Lighten up . . . on-screen thrift?
Dear Troubleshooters,
You helped with a previous problem - here's another (grateful for any pointers): My MS Word and Thunderbird [e-mail client] have suddenly reverted to a "thinner" form in whatever typeface (usually Times Roman) I use . . . it looks a bit like the ink-saving modes on printers, only more so. It was attractive at first, then annoying. I must have pressed something inadvertently. How do I restore things? It applies only in those two contexts (print other than what I type hasn't been affected). I have no idea whether it's visible to recipients or only to me.
Another point (off-thread, I know): the last two times I've signed into Pprune I've been taken, after username and password, to a screen demanding I copy some letters into a box (I've encountered similar verification procedures elsewhere). What's all that about? Perhaps I mistyped the password?
Thanks in advance.
