When i change my font size it doesn't hold my setting. Happens on pages and my mail. I set my font at 14 and check the box for sites to use there choice and select "none" for min font size. Next time I use the program I have these huge fonts like about 20-24 size font and my + and - is set at 100%. Can you please help me out? Thank you.

Hello,

When you are in the Advanced tab can you check:

  • "Fonts for:" category - did you set the font for Western or for other language sets?

If that doesn't solve it, try deselecting the option "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

It’s a program by Peter J. Sloetjes called “no small text” that was set at 20 fonts and it apparently was overriding Fire Fox’s settings every time. It’s on the Menu bar and for me is a Green T with a drop down list for different languages and fonts. Simply amazing what you find when you have the time to look. I’m keeping it now that I know about it and it is easier to change fonts then going to tools, options etc. Thank you all for your help and going to close this problem. My problem is now solved.

           Thanks FredMcD, you got me reading.
