Question
My fonts have just become bigger on Ebay, I assume it is in my computer, but has anyone else had this happen? It happened during listing, so it wasn't caused by anything on an auction page.
Is there anything I can reset to get back to normal fonts? Would are fonts normally set as under Tools>Internet Options? Mine are set as Latin Based right at the moment, but I don't have a clue if that is what they were previously. My fonts are normal here on here.
Anything I can do, or do I just adjust to hard to read pages on Ebay?
Bemused, Kevin
Edited to add: I did try rebooting the computer after they changed, but it did not return to normal....
Answer
Mine did that the other day. No matter how many times I restarted, it was still there. I had to change it to small text.

Hi Tina,
Did it affect everything, or mainly Ebay? Most other sites seem to be okay for me.
I had to change it to small text.
Where/how do I do that? (and did that then alter other sites)
Thanks, Kevin
Answer
Hi Kevin. Are you by chance using a mouse with a center scroll wheel? You can decrease or increase the font size by pressing (and holding) the CTRL on your keyboard, while you move the scroll wheel up or down on your mouse at the same time.
BTW, you probably won't see any change in your fonts on here because I think the text size is controlled by cascading style sheets.

Kevin, to change your text size go to the VIEW tab at the top of your browser and select "text size". However, that will change your text size for some other sites.

Answer
Woo Hoo! Thank you Blanche!
That was it, and that would have been how I changed it in the first place, as I was cutting and pasting a URL, and guess that I hit the wheel as I did it. I only got the centre wheel mouse fairly recently too.
It is all so straight forward once you know what to do.
VERY much appreciated.
Kind Regards, Kevin

The font size here changes with the scroll, too.

Hi Steve. If you go to the VIEW tab on the top toolbar, select "text size" and change it, does the text size change on here? It doesn't for me but that's because I don't have "ignore font sizes on web pages" checked under Tools-Internet Options-General-Accessibility. I know there's a reason I don't have it checked but I don't remember what it is. LOL

Answer
Anyone ever figure out why sometimes when IE opens a new window, it is not full size. Sometimes it does and sometimes it changes. Never can figure out what changes it or how to fix it.

It's not quite the same path under Firefox, but I have essentially the same settings you describe. I have checked to allow web pages to over-ride my text preferences, yet if I select text size to change, it does here at here. It also works with the scroll wheel.
