Do any of you sometimes just open internet explorer to find all your fonts are larger than usual? I used to get this old my old compy now and then, and it's happening now on my newer one. I think a reboot normally fixes it, but what's going on there?

No idea. I`ve had this happen a couple of times but it turned out to only be the text set to big size in options.

Yeah, mine was jacked up to max for some reason. Do you think javascript/java/active-x can tweak that setting cos I didn't do it myself!

The only shortcut I know that changes text size is if you hold CTRL and use scrollwheel on mouse. Maybe you did that by accident.

Boo!

You're right! That's rubbish! I use ctrl+c etc a lot and scroll with the scroll wheel. That's bound to be the culprit. Cheers.

Sometimes I find it's happened and most likely it is ctrl+scroll.

Ah. So that`s how it happened. The first time it happened I thought it was a bug. So embarasing.
