View Full Version : My Webpage Font is all Screwy...

This only started late yesterday into today, but the font on webpages seems to be twice as large, and something other than Helvetica. Like, for instance, this site. Everything seems to be in Arial, when the font used to be Helvetica. I looked through my internet options but I can't figure out how to fix it. I'll give another example. My webpage (which is linked below my sig) has its font in Helvetica, and when I try to edit the site it gives me the options of using Helvetica, Courier New and Times New Roman. But when I go to preview the page the font changes to Arial. I'm guessin' its got something to do with my internet settings, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
So can anybody help me out?

PanterA...dude...Thank you. So much. I was about to bash my computer cuz the large font was pissin' me off.
But now I feel like a douchebag cuz this was pissin me off so much and it was so simple to fix. Dammit.
Anyway, thanks again.

Happens to me all the time. If you're holding down control and using your mouse scroll it will change the font size.

BTW Arial and Helvetica are basically the same font. Different font foundries trademarked the name of typefaces and so when other foundries make that font they use another name, such as Arial.
