In internet explorer (the one that came with my Windows Vista laptop) when I
open up google.com and some other web cites the font size
in the search engine box is extremely small, so small I can barely read what
I am typing. The rest of the web page is fine, it's only what I type in the
box. if I go to view/encoding and select Western European it fixes it,
however as soon as I refresh the page it goes back to the way before, being
a
UTF-8 encoding. Are there any workarounds or fixes for this. It almost
makes google and other cites unusable for me. Yahoo works though.
Suspicions aroused, maybe Bill doesn't want you using Gooooo?

HI km,

Tools>Internet Options - General tab, Accessibility button. check both
"Ignore Font sizes specified on web pages" and "Ignore Font Styles specified
on web pages".

On the General tab, click the Fonts button and select a Font Family that is
easy to read (some fonts are tiny by default). I like Comic Sans Serif.

Regards.

Try updating your fonts or repairing them. I had this problem, and noticed a
lot of my arial fronts were missing, so I replaced them and then the problem
went away.

Hope this helps.
