Big Fonts?

Hi,

I seem to be getting really big sized letters on a lot of the websites I'm viewing, such as yahoo and my university website, however others seem uneffected. I'm not sure why as i haven't directly adjusted any settings myself. Is there anyway to get these back to standard/smaller font sizes, the big fonts are not very nice on the eye and very impractical as a short paragraph takes up half the screen, making text harder to read and pages harder to navigate. Can anyone help?

    If you hold down the Ctrl key and scroll with your mouse, this changes your fonts size.

    Very often people do this accidentally and have no idea why their settings have changed.

    That doesn't seem to be working.

    Ah! It worked! After a bit of persistance! A fast stab at the Ctrl button combined with a sharp downward spin on the mini scroll wheel on the top of my mouse seemed to do the trick. Many thanks! :)
