My PC suddenly has different font sizes being used in IE. This is both on the tool bars and in the web pages. I rebooted, and it stayed the same. I checked the settings and the resolution is still 1024 x 768. I changed this and then changed back but it did not help. I changed the font size in settings to big and then back again, but still no dice. The font in the toolbar is only slightly smaller and the text in the window is only slightly bigger, so I almost think I am imagining things. I do notice that some text wraps differently, so I think I am not losing my mind. Any thoughts? ---

Try adjusting it under **Text Size** in IE’s **View** menu. Holding down the **ctrl** key and rolling your mouse wheel will do the same thing. ---
