Text size on webpages

L

Lauri Maldre

My IE6 is showing some text on certain webpages (Yahoo!,
some newspapers, etc) much bigger than before, without me
changing any settings. Is there anything that can be done
to correct this? I have tried to look, but there is no
place where font size could be specified.

Hi,
Check settings in IE> View> Text size. If you still get strange text sizes,
look into Internet Options> General> Accessibility... usually nothing should
be checked.

On many pages you can quickly adjust text sizes by using Crtl key+scroll
wheel on your mouse. try it.

If those tips don't work, post back to this thread.

Please check in Internet Explorer under View>Text Size. The default setting
is Medium. Hope this helps.

Wow! I was trying to figure out how to work around a problem with a
program (AdSubtract Pro 3) that has a control panel that fidgets badly
if you have checked 'ignore font sizes' in IE 6's Accessibility
choices. I need larger font sizes because of my vision and I'm using
an 18.1" flat panel monitor. Your suggestion is a great solution to
that dilemma.

Thanks for posting that tip!
