font change

Post by zanthia »

i haven't been on in a while and now i notice that when I go to an individual game page ( subsites) to view the walkthrough or any game info , the font is minuscule yet the homepage and forums are just fine. this is in firefox, anyone else having this problem. it never used to be this way.

Hm. Hold ctrl and scroll the scroll button on your mouse. It changes the font size and might fix things for you until the staff can have a look at it.

The fonts looks the same to me. Does this only happen in FireFox for you? Try IE and/or Chrome for example.
If it looks normally there - chances are it is your FireFox settings.

Otherwise - try linking some of the page(s) which are a problem for you.

Hmm, nothing has changed on the server side. All of the fonts look the same to me across all major browsers, and I haven't received any other feedback like this. My guess is that, as Xandax suggested, it has something to do with your local Firefox configuration.

This may or may not work for you depending on what is causing the problem, but you can try going to Tools > Options > Content tab in your Firefox window and manually changing the font there while you are on the page that has the small font.

Also, you could go into Advanced in the Font & Colors section (not the Advanced tab in the Options window), set the font details, and uncheck "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above." This would force all font on all pages to look like your settings though, and that may drastically alter the look of other pages.

If neither of those options help, you could always simply uninstall and reinstall firefox to see if that fixes the problem.

ctrl- scroll does help to increase the font but not all that much. Its not a true font enlarger like the 5 font choices of IE. nothing has changed on my firefox settings . also I have not noticed this problem on other sites
font size is best on my old netscape browser but because of its age it has a tendency to crash a lot as it just isn't supported. i don't use IE but tried opera where it is a bit better, just don't like opera very much.
have never installed chrome so don't know about it.
i was hoping it just wasn't me. thanks for your responses. i will just have to put up with netscape or opera to view your walkthroughs and individual game sites

I recommend Chrome, myself. You can check it out [url="http://www.google.com/chrome"]here.[/url] It should work perfectly fine with the site, and it's also extremely fast.
