Has it changed? Or have I fiddled with something in preferences?

Are they bigger or smaller and you are using IE?
Change the font size somewhere in the prefs/options!

Its definately changed - and no matter what I do in preferences - it doesn't change - I have it set to display what the page font is set to... Hobbes what is that font you changed it to? At the moment (btw I'm using Netscape 4) the font looks thinner and more elegant?

That's what it's always been. (Of course, I have my browser to show everything in Times...much more readable, IMO.)

I've *ALWAYS* used Trebuchet MS here... Something you have installed recently has obviously (finally) installed Trebuchet for you.

Hi Jubes!

How do you pronounce this font Tre-bu-chey? or Tre-bu-chet?

I think I might - I'm just dilly-dallying around with it at the moment. I'll probably get the whole 'office' set up - hopefully when I get a new computer...

IIRC, it's tre-bu-chey, like French.
A trebuchet a catapult like thingy (Age of Empires 2 is educational as well
