Fonts all wrong since reinstalling F'fox
 
For some reason since my little brother reinstalled everything onto my PC, the Firefox fonts seem wrong. Looking at Hotmail or Scoobynet just looks weird.

Is there a set system for getting my old fonts back as I'm finding it hard to read.

If I had a print screen of before and after I could show you but I don't. :freak3:

Doing my head in.

Tools>Options>Content tab then have a play about with the Fonts & Colors drop down boxes.

Hmm, been doing this. Will have to fiddle some more.

Do I need to click or unlcik the option about allowing other websites to use their own fonts etc?

Try my settings and see if they are like you had before

Thanks for that but I think its for the whole bloody computer. All the fonts are different as he did a recovery as the c: drive was slow as feck.

Just need to find the setting which puts the original font back as it's every page I open and also every folder on the PC.

Windows XP home edition if that helps?

Try this, go to Control Panel>Display and click on the settings tab, then click advanced button, bottom right and make sure DPI is set to 96.

If that doesn't sort it, post a screen shot.

also, have to tried playing about with the screen resolution? If not, try that aswell, change it to 1024 by 768 or similar

Bloody ell, not sure why it's massive at the top??

I have got a tip for you though to get the best out of Firefox. Right click up by where it says help, but to the right a bit, then click customise, the click show icons and text and show small icons, also drag new tab next to home or where ever, something like this....
