    Resolved Changing font type in XP?

    Anyone know how I can change the type of font that displays in a browser window? My girlfriend changed the font type to where I have a hard time reading stuff. For some reason everysite I visit does not display this font. I tried right clicking --> properties --> appearance but I don't see anything that matches. Thanks.

    Which browser are you using? If IE then its just Tools > Internet Options > Fonts button.

    And if Firefox (icky IE ), Tools > Options > Content Tab, under "Fonts and Colors"

    That is, if you are talking about the fonts in your browser. The fonts you were trying to change are the fonts the windows operating system shows... two different things...

    I reccomend the portable version of it run from your Hard Drive
    No registry changes and is much faster to boot up initially, plus of course, all the extensions will still work

    Yeah I don't know if im even gonna install FireFox since I haven't had any problems with IE yet. I do like FireFox though with the themes and all but it's a little on the slow side.

    Firefox > IE

    Firefox is faster, more secure, supports better standards, has more features.... Need I continue

    You'll ruin your system by leaving IE in it though
