does anybody know why internet explorer will periodically, at random, decide that you don't really like your font size settings the way they are, and your internet browsing experience would certainly be much improved if the font size was set to smallest or largest?

not that it happens to me, because i stopped using ie as my primary browser a couple years ago, but i have been having customers call me to complain that my web site looked horrible and my font was unreadable and i needed to redesign the site since at least 2000, way back when i worked for PCC. and with all of them it turned out that the problem was that they were using internet explorer and the size had changed to smallest or largest and once it got set back to medium, suddenly they loved our site.
