Haven’t seen any messages here, so am I the only one to have (or notice) a change? Maybe I hit one of those unknown and arcane keyboard combinations that I’m always hitting by accident… ---

It’s a legacy thing. You were surfing the Net and one of the sites you hit had an applet that tweaked the page to their prefered font. If you log off or clear cookies, the font change goes away. ---

We’re talking really weird shit that took hours to explain to my wife about. I mean, the occasional Wiki page is one thing (common, everyone does it), but Google Groups? Yahoo Answers? ---

> [@John\_DiFool](#): > > Haven’t seen any messages here, so am I the only one to have (or notice) a change? Maybe I hit one of those unknown and arcane keyboard combinations that I’m always hitting by accident… Is it actually a new font, or just a different font size? If the latter, try Ctrl- or Ctrl+ or Ctrl0 to see if that helps. ---

That did it, **Canadjun** , thanks (I knew it had to be something simple like that).
