Question ID: 134303
after a format & clean install of windows xp pro & ie6, what is the
default font-family and size displayed by ie6 for a basic standalone
HTML document (no stylesheet, font-face attributes, just plain text
between <body></body> tags & nothing special in the <head></head>. eg
'arial' '12pt' (just made those up to illustrate the 2 pieces of info
I'm looking for.)

The briefest of answers will suffice.

Hello gan,

Having never changed my ie 6 fonts and using Windows XP Professional,
the default web page font is Times New Roman and the default size is
12.

This is exactly the same in Windows XP Home edition (checked my other
pc).

I found a source to back this up here: 

"The defaults right after installing the browser are:
font = Times New Roman and Courier New
font size = Medium"
http://www.jegsworks.com/Lessons/web/basics/step-iesettings.htm

Note that Courier New is the default plain text font (txt file in IE)
and that medium translates to a size of 12pt.

Let me know if you need any clarifications regarding this answer and I
will do my best to further assist you.
