Strange font settings with IE

[Richard]

I've recently installed XP Pro and it has been working
flawlessly. However, one day while surfing, I noticed
that particular web pages I have been visiting, are being
displayed in a larger font and not the usual font.

I have found that the only way to view them the old way,
is to right-click on a blank portion of the screen, select
Encoding, then select User-Defined.

Some pages simply look ridiculous now and I have not
changed any settings nor hardware.

Anybody have any ideas?

You have possibly changed your text size setting. If you have a mouse wheel, rolling while holding CTRL will cause this change. To correct you problem click on the View entry on the menu bar, then select Text Size, then select Medium. Hope this helps
