Hi;

Has anyone had a problem with the IE 6.0.2 font size settings changing only
when trying to view a Microsoft site ? Such as MSN or Microsoft.com. I don't
seem to have this problem with other sites. Ummmmmm.

My PC's OS is XP Media if that makes a difference.
 
Hey with the help of some other posts I solved my own problem.

My symptom of having IE6 display some sites in large fonts is a pretty
common problem it seems.

If anyone read this thread I would advise them to first look at this setting
in the
WINDOWS OS then try loooking at the settings in IE.

1) Start -> Control Pannel -> Accessibility Options -> Display Tab
UNCHECK the Use High Contrast check box if it is checked. This solved
my problem.

2) Verify Font settings in IE. using one of the following methods :

a) menu -> View -> text size -> choose a smaller size or, holding the CTRL
button down use the mousewheel to change size or,
verify that the accessibilty formatting options are NOT chaecked by tools ->
internet options -> Accesssibility button.

4) Hopefully by now IE's fonts are working properly. If not check for some
type of virus and or, use the Windows XP's restore point to restore your
computer software to a point in the past when you didn't have the font
problem.

Now isn't this easy ?
