Hello,

I've got 3 browsers on my WinXPpro: Firefox 3.5.2, Opera 10 and IE 7. Alle pages are displayed fine in FF. Opera and IE seem to have a very similar issue: Both upsize fonts eventhough zoom mode in both browsers is set to 100%.

I tend to believe that this might be a system-wide setting, somewhere. Does anyone know this problem?

Thanks in advance.
