Do you use the mouse wheel to scroll your browser window?

CTRL-mouse wheel will decrease/increase font size.  Changing the font
size and going back to an old page will produce the old page in the new
font size.

Is it possible that CTRL-mouse wheel events are being seen by your
browser?

Subject: [OT] Web page font changes

At some time during the day I have a wander through the local paper

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/

In the last couple of weeks I've noticed that after looking at one or
two stories, the font changes to a very small Times Roman. Which
I can't be bothered squinting at so, groan, go back to work

I sent an e-mail to the webmaster, and he responds as below

BTW I didn't ask him if he'd changed the font - I asked why the
same page, for example home, starts in one font when launched
from Favourites, and then appears in another font when you return
to it after reading a linked story. Any subsequent pages are then
also stuck in this new tiny font

I don't have this problem with any other frequently-visited site
and wonder if taking control like this is going to make a mess of
any other sites I visit

If anyone has the time to browse through a few stories at The
Herald, I'd be interested to know whether they too experience
the font suddenly changing. I'm sure the webmaster knows his
own site, but something has changed

TIA

Good morning

We have not changed our font but you have the ability to change the size
on your own computer

If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer (versions 4 and higher):

1. Open your web browser.

2. In the upper menu title bar select Tools then Internet Options.

3. In the Internet Options window, choose the General tab if it has not
opened by default.

4. In the bottom right hand corner of the General window, click on the
Accessibility button.

5. Under the Formatting heading in the Accessibility window, tick the
third
box, which says "Ignore font sizes specified on web pages".

6. Click on the OK button at the bottom of the Accessibility window. The
Accessibility window will close.

7. Click on the OK button at the bottom of the Internet options window.
The
Internet Options window will close.

8. In your web browser, go to the upper menu bar and select View, then
Text
Size, then choose the size you prefer. The text size will instantly
change
to the setting you choose
