I don't know what caused it but every time I view a html page offline & online it is displayed in extra large fonts & I can't hardly view the page. I've reset IE 8 back to the default settings in tools-internet options and it's still like that.
What are you using for font size? 12px 10pt <- try to use px or em or %, instead of point size="9" <- never use size="", use CSS if you're doing this 0.8em 100%
in the body tag of your css input { font-size: 62.5%; } then when choosing a font size use em's. so then say you wanted to use a font size of 12px instead it would be 1.2em. This helps for stability across browsers hope this helps
Always start with the keywords in the body element for example: body{ font-family: font-size: small, large etc...... } now try to play with % for example h1{ font-size:120% } This will help you in managing the font size in the decent way moreover using pixel in the font-size has strong accessibility issue so never ever use px. Although it may seem easy to use pixel and work out the layout but it is not recommended.....
