Apologises as have asked this before and forgot the answer, so will subscibe to this thread when someone answers again....
I have windows vista and suddenly the font sizes on my webpages have increased.
Im having to change each page individually with the font size as some are okay at 100%, others need increasing to like 125%, how do i just get it back to normal, without having to change each webpage all the time.
Thank you and sorry for asking again

Thanks, but that is not answering my q in the sense that I am still having to use what you said everytime on each webpage to have it at the right size.
Currently i go into page, zoom and select what i need.
Up until like 3 hours ago i didn't have to do this, every webpage was just the right font size, like automatically.
I've obviously adjusted a setting without realising and its driving me mad.Mummy to two girls: October 2013 and February 20160 -
HiYa Tron :beer: I've not used Vista since the Beta test days but :
Right-click the desktop and click "Personalize" on the pop-up menu to launch the Personalization window.
then
Click "Adjust Font Size (DPI)" on the left panel to launch the DPI Scaling window. Select the "Larger Scale (120DPI)-make text more readable" radio button to increase font size. Click "Custom DPI" if you want to select a different font size.
then
Select the DPI percentage that you want to use for the DPI increase. Click "OK" to save the changes. Click "OK" again. When prompted, restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

That doesn't work either as it changes the whole computers font size, which i don't want as the font size is fine on the computer and some websites, then other websites like yahoo its too big and you can tell by the outline around pictures as its fuzzy, but then my email font size is too small on my email.
I don't know what i have done, arghhhh.Mummy to two girls: October 2013 and February 20160 -
You say you've tried going into page>zoom
Have you tried page>text size
??
When the zoom is set to 100% the text size should then be set to medium0
