Please help!! While playing a game on cd,all the fonts changed to extra huge size,and now I can't change them back because I can't reach the bottom of the windows.Right clicking on the task bar only enables me to change the start menue or a program.I use windows 95 on an HP Pavillion 6545C.Help anyone?!Perhaps a file extraction?Thanks!

Here are some possible solutions I saved from another forum, I have not used them myself so do not know if they will help solve your problem but hope they might

"Set fonts to 200%, can't access settings to change"

Solution

Success! Almost. I went to Display>Settings and fiddled with key combos.
Alt + S or D or F got me the sizing function Large Font, Small Font, Other and to play it safe I selected 100% rather than 125%. Now I want to make it a little larger
but can't seem to bring up the % size option again but at least I've got back everything I had if not a tad smaller. It's better than it was. I won't be touching 200%
anytime soon

In Netscape

Click on Netscape’s Options menu.

Click on General Preferences.

When the Preferences window opens, choose Fonts from the top of the screen.

There are two Choose Fonts buttons.

Click on the first one.

This will bring you up a window which allows you to choose which font and font size you want like below.
Simply scroll up and down the list until you find the font and/or font size you want.

Highlight your selection. At the bottom of the screen there is a Sample box which will show you how your
selection will appear.

Click on the OK button to save your selection.

Repeat steps 6 to 9 to change the second Choose Fonts button.

Click on the OK button on the Options window to leave.
~~~~~~~~~~

Internet Explorer

Quick font changes can be done by clicking on the letter "A" Options from the menu.

Just keep clicking until you find the right setting for you. There about 4 font options using this method.

You can change the font type by going to the "View" pull down menu and choosing "Options"

This will open up a menu, choose the "General" menu and you will see a button called "Font Settings".

From here you can choose the appropriate font you wish to use with your Browser..
