Wish I knew where to fix it then... It looks at least a full size larger than here.

In case anyone can help in that area, I'm running winXP pro w/ IE 6 SP1.

That works here, but not at the PHPBB... only fonts it changes there are the ones that look fine, like the post notices about me not being registered, etc. the main posts still stay huge.

Its the same size as the one here dude. Set your font size back to 100% or whatever the hell IE calls it.</font><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

if you have a scrolling wheel mouse, hold down the CTRL button on your keyboard and use the wheel to scroll up and down. this will adjust the size of the displayed font

Results are exactly the same regardless of using Mozilla (1.6) or IE6 SP1.

I hate to sound like an arse bro, but I already tried that... read above when I asked for help.

I didn't specifically SAY I did it, but it was mentioned and I did try it.

MD, that's weird. don't suppose themes would have any impact on web font display do ya?

I'm usin styleXP to customize my desktop, and it's never been a problem in the past. maybe somethin in the php code relies on a setting "slightly" modified by styleXP?

I don't run any theming software other than what came with XP. I use a cracked version of the UxTheme.dll to allow themes. (I did it legitimately with a publicly released beta version of StyleXP, so you whiners can kiss my ass. Image) According to DCrazy, its an issue with Internet Explorer and its rendering (suprise, suprise). Theres nothing that I can do about that. Its all up to Microsoft to fix that problem. Until then, use Mozilla. Image

I'm using IE6 (on Win2000) and I see no rendering problems with the new DBB at all. I don't give a flying piece of muff-dust what browser I use or what the page looks like though Image

Btw, thanks for the title MD.

You shouldn't need activating via an admin should you? I didn't. I was registered in under 1 minute.

Some people don't get the e-mail requiring them to activate their account.

Flabby, I activated your account several hours ago. Image
