Win2K sp3

On certain web pages and even local programs on my PC lettering is small and
broken. Alot of times only half of any given letter shows up on the screen.
Whats really weird is that I terminal in to a server, look at the same
thing, and its fine. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
 
what is your font size under advanced display settings? much software assumes
100%.

web pages that use pixel sizes for fonts are just plain broken. others use
point size under 9. you can use Opera and set a minumum point size.

On some web sites, you cannot control the font size.

I ran into one of these yesterday...
www.crockpot.com (OK, stop laughing now)
go look at one of the recipies, and try to change the
text size.

The line spacing changes, but NOT the text.

at 1280x1024 regular
font, and no way to make things bigger,
I had to get out a friggin' magnifying glass to read the text.

Bad authoring, especially for a commercial site.
