1. Depending on your browser, you should have a pull-down "view" menu
with a zoom in/out command. Try that.

2. Hold the Ctrl button and hit the minus key until the font is normal.
I learned this when my kitty did the same thing.

3. If it's a Mac, use the Command key with the minus key.

4. Isn't it amazing how much smarter cats are about computers than humans?

8. I have an application on my Mac that locks up the keyboard if a cat walks on it.
The message "Cat-Like Typing Detected" appears on the screen, and I have to type "human" to unlock it.

10. Glad that it worked for you!
Who knows how cats do what they do? That's one of the many reasons we love them.

6. From the DU FAQ: (I once did this by mistake... :) )
How do I increase or decrease the font size?

Enter into any of the forums on the website, and look closely at the top left-hand corner of the page. To increase font size, click the small black link that says: Switch to large fonts. To decrease font size, click the small black link that says: Switch to normal fonts.
