Default Internet Explorer Help

Hi,

The text in my Internet Explorer recently have become smaller on some sites. Such as some yahoo sites and all of Wikipedia and other site with similar layout as Wikipedia.
You can tell the different on the pic below. I compared it to Firefox.
And under text size it is under medium.

Hechen,

Try this little trick. Hold down the ctrl key and scroll the mouse wheel towards you. Scrolling away from you will decrease the font size, scrolling towards you increases it
