Did the forum font just change for everyone else or am I imagining things?

nope looks normal here...sure u didn't hit CTRL+0, or select a different font?

Ok, now that I've hit Ctrl+0 how do I get it back?

Pressing Ctrl+0 (Control plus zero) does nothing for me...I'm sure I didn't do it before though. I haven't changed any settings in User CP.

edit: I've attached a screenshot showing the font I see. Using Firefox 3.0.7. Tried emptying cache.

Its a zoom reset. (CTRL + 0)

amp88 - thats what the forums look like. Thats what they've always looked like. Unless you had another weird default font...

Hmmm...well, that's not what it's looked like for me since I can remember...I've reinstalled Vista in the past month and when I did it was at a different font out of the box. I don't understand it...just means I'll need to get used to this font now. When I use Ctrl+Mousewheel (to change font size) I've found one that looks like what I was used to, but I don't think it's exactly the same. Meh, probably PEBKAC. Thanks.

ctrl + mousewheel isn't font size, it's a zoom adjustment

What mine looks like, think your just a little zoomed out, does look a little different.

Both of the above screenshots look completely different from mine.

I see a new thread coming; Post The Way Your LFS Forum Font Looks ( 1 2 3 4 5 6 ... Last Page)

Verdana is the normal font. For some reason yours changed to Arial. I don't know how to fix that.

It looks normal here, perhaps there is a way to change the standard font of the forum and you've done it in your sleep Amp?

Looks terrible to me, but then I don't like Windows' font rendering one little bit. I've opted for something a little...nicer

Vista has ClearType enabled by default whereas XP doesn't, so Vista fonts look smoother. Might that be the change?

In Firefox menu go to Tools -> Options then open the Content tab and in the Fonts & Colors section click on the Advanced button.

The default settings for western countries are like these:


Set the settings like that and make sure that the "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above" option is ticked. Then close and restart Firefox.

As Lateralus said the default font for this forum is Verdana so check in the Windows Control Panel -> Fonts if this font is installed and if the files are physically present in the \Windows\Fonts folder (4 files: Verdana.ttf, Verdanab.ttf, Verdanai.ttf, Verdanaz.ttf).
