On some pages in Internet Explorer, the font shows up super narrow (to
the point of being unreadable) (www.wikipedia.org is one example.) I'm
not sure why this is or how to fix it, can anyone help? (it looks like
Arial Narrow, but I'm not good at distinguishing fonts

Howdy fierax-ga,

Are you in a Windows or another environment?

Also, if you go to Tools, Internet Options, and then Fonts, what do you
have listed under "Web page font" and "Plain text font"?  Thanks!

Looking Forward, denco-ga - Google Answers Researcher

When I go to Tools > Internet options > Fonts the plain text font is
Courier New and the web page font is Arial

Appreciate you patience with this diagnostic process, fierax-ga.

If you could provide another web page where you have the same problem,
that might help.  Thanks!

probably your IE settings are wrong in the tool menu or in the registry of windows.

Its also posibly that you dont have the font installed properly.

I hope it helps.

Text-Size in IE

which can too easily be changed if you hold CTRL and then scroll wheel
the mouse, to reverse it either reverse the proces either do the
reverse of above or go

View -> Text Size -> Medium

It's not the size that concerns me, it's the narrowness, even on the
largest size it's hard to read because it doesn't use "real" Arial
