Having a problem with font...

Okay, this seemed to happen when I hit something on my keyboard, but I don't know what I hit, and it's only here-

I was typing something, and all of a sudden the font changed... now, the little sidebars (like the HTML/UBB stuff to my left as I type) and things like the stats under people's names and forum descriptions are so tiny I can't read them.

I was wondering if anybody who's more computer literate out there can help me out with this? How can I fix it?

If you’re using Internet Explorer the chances are you’ve caught the shortcut to one of the text size settings by mistake, I’ve done it myself.

Go to view – text size- and pick a bigger one.

Thanks- this helped quite a bit. One other problem I seem to be hvaing, though, is that apostrophe's are coming up as little squares... any ideas?

Where exactly are they coming up as little squares?

Try changing your font type.

If you’re in Internet Explorer you need to go to:

Tools – Internet Options

Once there you should see a Font button at the bottom of the window, if you click on it you get to the font types window.

Whatever you do WRITE THE SETTINGS DOWN so you can put it back to how it is now if you make a pigs ear of it. (standard it helpdesk rule #1 never leave a user any worse off than they were when you arrived)

Err... the fonts aren't doing anything... not even changing the actual font of the pages....
