Weird display problem
« on: 26 January, 2012, 12:17:04 am »
Spilt something over my wireless keyboard the other day. No damage done - but, when the spill happened I grabbed the keyboard and would have pressed a stack of keys while soaking up the worst of the tea. This caused something to change in my display settings. I am buggered if I can return it to normality.

Hard to describe, but in order to have the text on a webpage displaying at what seems to be the correct size, I had to Ctrl+ a couple of times. But when I do that, all the images on the page (e.g. the yacf logo top left) are too big when the text is normal.  ???

Resolution is at the correct setting.

CTRL+0 (on the number pad) should return everything to normal.

Yes, but when all the images on a web page are displaying as normal (after using Ctrl+0) the text was too small. Anyway, I think I see the problem - default font size in Firefox. It was set at 12, I am now on 16 which looks right. What is usual for that setting?

I've just checked mine - 16 is the default
