I’ve got a computer here that’s showing sites and fonts as completely different from what they should be. Example: A site with a black background and Verdana font shows up as a site with a white background and some other font.
What’s causing this, and how to fix it?
Is your text coding set to Western European (Windows)? You can check it by going to the View menu and highlighting Encoding. I know if I use a computer in the library the coding is often set to Chinese or Japanese character sets, which can make things look a little weird.
If you are at a public terminal, like at a library, the accessibility settings in the browser might be set to high contrast by a user with vision problems, and others don’t realize it to unset the option.
