Why do some web pages display in bold all of a sudden?

Even AT is doing it. Not all pages are. But some are all of a sudden displaying in bold, larger-than-normal fonts.

I've checked my fonts in IE, and checked them in display properties. They haven't changed. This happened yesterday, out of the blue. I know my preferences for several sites didn't all change at once.

This is my work computer, running 98SE, and IE6.

Anyone know what's causing this?

Edit: I tried clearing the temp files and cookies but no luck.

Try holding CTRL and scrolling your mouse wheel, this can cause fonts to get bigger with displaying that they were ever changed.

Good luck!

That was it, thanks!!

This happened awhile back, too, but went away. I have popup stopper and sometimes you have to hold Ctrl to allow windows to come up. I guarantee that's how it got changed, I was probably doing that and rolled the wheel at the same time. Never knew that did it.
