My cat walked across my keyboard and changed the font size of the DU for me. How do I get it back
to regular size? I tried logging out - then back in ... but that didn't work.

1. Control and + or - will change the font size in some browsers..
Hold down Ctrl and then press the + or - key at the same time..

10. Or ctrl + scroll will do it, too
something that saved me a lot of headaches when my eyesight was really lousy.

4. Which browser?
On many browsers (like Firefox), there will be a 'View' menu. In that menu will be a 'Zoom' option. When you click that, there is often a 'Reset' selection. That will change the current page back to your defaults.

Just noticed on my MS Explorer that it uses '100%' instead of 'Reset.'

5. When you look in a forum (e.g., GD)
in the top left, under the logo, is an option to "Switch to Large Fonts".

Maybe that got clicked somehow?

8. You might want to get your cat's eyes checked.

If Fluffy has changed your terminal to "large-size" font, that may mean she's having trouble ordering fresh salmon online.
