BIG fonts

Hey folks,
Recently, ive found a few websites i use regularly, (incl PPRuNe)
load up with larger sized fonts, than they normally do.
Any idea what may have caused this?
Cheers

Pending the answers to WDTBD's questions, you might try View, Text Size from the top menu.

If you have a wheel mouse, try pressing CTRL and rolling the wheel to change text size.

I think he was after the cause, not the cure

Happens to me after visiting certain websites, or (more accurately I think) clicking on a hyperlink in some emails. One airline's web special fares email consistently does it. I've looked at the resultant HTML code and can't see anything. My guess is that it's caused by some malformed stylesheet code.

yeah, copied that but I had a similar experience before I knew about the wheel thing - what I mean is I think I brought it on myself by inadvertently wheeling then couldn't work out why it was all odd for a while.

Would help wouldnt it!
Im using INternet Expl 5
Tried the wheel thing to adjust and its better.
Does that mean everything automatically opens up in the "new" size?

Once you've set things the settings should "stick"!

IE.6

Havn't had that happen @ all in the year or so I've been on IE6 & Netscape 6 - Might be worth a try, either or both ways.
