I have a user who when browsing in IE her fonts are way too large
So large in fact that the MSN page does not load properly.
Even on pages like our intranet page which has a fixed font height in
the html code, on her machine the fonts are too large.
I have the font size set to smallest from IE View > Text Size, but that does
not help.
I logged into the machine with a new user account
and the problem does not show up so its windows account profile
specific. I'm trying to see if I can avoid whipping her profile to solve
the problem.

Machine is XP Pro SP1 and IE 6

Hi,
Take a look at these settings:
Internet Options> General> Accessibility
and
Control Panel> Accessibility Options> Display.
For most users, nothing should be checked (especially High Contrast.)

Other possibilities at http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers/53.html

Hope this helps,
