There are two places that I have seen this behavior occur from making
changes:
1. In your IE properties on the General tab under the Accessibility
button check your formatting options. I have seen the formatting options
change the size of the text based on the settings you choose in this
window.
2. Under your display properties again on the General tab see what
resolution you have your display set to, normal setting is 96dpi. This
can affect some font sizes on text within a web page and leave other
fonts looking normal.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Unreadable text
I use MSIE 6 for browsing (lots of browsing) and it normally works fine.
On occasion I come across a web site on which the text appears tiny and
unreadable. The large fonts (which may be images) on the pages look
fine, but the small text is unreadable. One such site is this one:
http://www.ajc.com/blogs/content/shared-blogs/ajc/sportscolumns/
I installed and ran SlimBrowser and the results are the same. With
SlimBrowser, I can magnify the page to the point where the text becomes
readable, but I'm sure that should not be necessary.
This installation of XP Pro is a few years old, and I have made a few
suggested "improvements" when I trusted the source of the suggestions.
So the problem may be some "improvement" that I made. I don't know where
to start to find the problem. Perhaps change some font selection?
Thanks for any suggestions, Bob
PS
I'm asking this on the PCBuild list since i suspect the answer lies in
Windows OS.
I will resubmit to PCSoft if necessary
