Joystiq headline font too small to read

About 2 weeks ago, Joystiqs headline fonts went super small. Still readable, but annoying and anything I did didn;t change a thing.

Today I go there and they've shrunk again to a size that literally makes them a tiny black bar and completely unreadable. I'm on IE7 sadly and can't change that but any advice? Joystiq is the only site that's been affected that I can find.

    Hold down CTRL and use the mouse wheel zoom?

    I've had this happen before with other sites and it's maddening because WHY DID IT HAPPEN but the ease of zooming pretty much takes care of it for me.

    Well, that sort of works but by the time the headline font is big enough to even begin to see the rest of the page is gigantic. Like, one letter is too big to fit on the screen gigantic.

    Maybe the text size was changed? Should be able to go to view menu and check Text Size. Default should be medium.

    Also, do you not have any other browsers that you can use to at least see how it looks in that?

    There are a number of problems with text size rendering in CSS in MSIE7 that Microsoft never got around to fixing until MSIE8.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    No, Text Size is still at Medium and no I can't try any other browsers. This is a work PC.

    As for the text size rendering isssue, I'm just curious why it would have all of a sudden happened like this.

    If this is actual text and not a picture of text, you can copy to the clipboard and paste into some readable area. I've always just pasted right into the address bar.
