Did you restart? One time my PC did this and just restarted and everything was fine. I nearly had a heart attack about it though.
Hopefully it's not a huge issue...

try this combo: CTRL+0. what happens?

It has nothing to do with the text size

well then... i dunno. If you have FF installed, some add-ons may change the in-built CSS for certain fonts. That has been reported. I know there's a font-cache somewhere for some systems that can be cleared but never got into it. I think you better google until you hit something relevant.

on a Mac i'd guess a corrupt font cache and suggest a font cache cleaner.. not sure if its the same with PCs... ?
- Corvo0
what site was it, btw?

"The Windows operating system has a font cache file that is located here:
C:\Windows\System32\FNTCACHE.DAT
Delete this file, and restart your system. A new FNTCACHE.DAT file will be created on startup."from here: http://www.ascendercorp.com/font…
