weird fonts in IE

[JPeters]

Hello All

I recently have had something go crazy with my IE 6 on my Win XP machine. The default font, (I am assuming the webpages were not created with a true <font face=""> tag) is almost unbearable to read. If I copy and paste the text into notepad, I can read it just fine. I have gone through the settings in IE to see if it is something in there, and I am quite sure its not.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jamie

Not sure that this is what you're refering to, but you can click on View,
Text Size and make sure Medium is selected.

Also, click on View, Encoding, make sure Auto is selected there.

Both are menu items on the View menu in Internet Explorer.

You can also go to Tools, Internet Options... click on the Advanced Tab and
then on Restore to defaults.

This is all assuming that you mean the fonts inside Internet Explorer are
messed up.

If it's not Internet Explorer and it is Windows XP in general, then right
click on the Desktop, click on Properties, click on Appearance tab, select
Windows Standard from the drop down list and then click on apply.

Let us know if that helps.
