Hi Folks, I am using my Packard-Bell Laptop running Win.7 Home Prem. 32bit Running Google Chrome.
I use Gmail, Which I access using Thunderbird. ( I was using the portable version but it's now installed )
All my Fonts seem to have shrunk. The first one I tried to fix was the email from Eileen's. I got it enlarged by setting 'View' tab > Zoom (text Only) by holding Ctrl button and using my mouse wheel. Opening another message the text was of a different size, sometimes larger or smaller.
I have been playing with the 'Theme Font & size changer addon plus the settings 'Options' to no avail.
( My settings in Chrome have not changed as I have a record of it's settings).
Every other places I've been have all got smaller fonts. My Gmail, Start Menu and Desktop icons to name only a few.
I have had Tbird installed for a week or 2 before this happened.
It seems to have started when a new version of Google Calendar became available. I tried it but don't like it so reverted to Classic version.

Re: Fonts Size
I fonts have shrunk in Windows and all applications, it must be a Windows setting.
Click the Start button.
Type font size in the search box, then press Enter.
If "Smaller - 100%" is currently selected, select "Medium - 125%", and if that is already selected, select "Large - 150%". If you want more precise control, click "Set custom text size (DPI)" in the navigation pane on the left.

Re: Fonts Size
Have you changed the resolution of your monitor? (The second item in the navigation pane on the left: Adjust resolution)

Re: Fonts Size
Hi John, that will only reset the zoom to normal if the page size had been increased.

Re: Fonts Size
No, I did not as the pages I have increased the font size on would be counterproductive. I am trying to ascertain why the fonts have decreased in size and what to do to rectify it.

Here are the pages I have increased the font on, none of them that I visit require a decrease in size.

Re: Fonts Size
My link should get you a small .docx file to show what I have done. Sadly I never copied the original settings as I knew I could reset to default anytime if I didn't like it. I've been using these settings for a few years.
