Font size change

[Guest]

Hello,

In design view my font looks normal (12 pt looks like 12 pt, 18 looks like
18 and so on..) When I preview my site the font is HUGE and screws up the
look of my website. 12pt font looks more like 36pt. What should I do to fix
this?

I have not published my site yet. It is when I preview my site the font gets
bigger.
Not sure what my font size is set at.

In general, for websites, point should never be used. pt is a paper printing
designation and does not translate well to some browsers.

em's s probably the best solution, or the CSS "small, extra small" etc. etc.

Are you using the Preview tab in FP or Preview in Browser??
If Preview in browser, on the browser toolbar click View and then scroll down to Text Size
and see where it's set.

If you have a scroll-wheel type mouse, try holding down the Ctrl Key and
moving the scroll/wheel back & forth to adjust the text size. This will
only work if your mouse is set for this behaviour for the use of the scroll
wheel.

However, what does the site look like in a browser (test it in several) (not
FP preview mode) - does it still have the 36pt font size?
