Web browsing issues.

Pliers

Does anyone know why text in the code box looks strange. I'm using Google Chrome.
Also, I can't go to the parallax forums using Explorer 9. I can visit the store and the home page with Explorer 9.
I don't seem to have issues with any other sites I visit.

Shot in the dark. Do you have the Parallax font installed on your system?

I saw that same post fine with Chrome on XP and Windows7, both with the Propeller Tool installed.

I think I have the Parallax font installed. The Propeller tool looks ok.
I am running windows 7 also. This started a few days ago.
If I copy the code and paste it into a new text document, it looks ok.



When I tried Explorer 9 I could not even go to the fourms site.

Testing testing
Line 1 goto line 2
Line 2 goto line 1

In the preview this code looks ok, but not when I see it in the forum.

Another "shot in the dark" Could it maybe be your security settings in IE 9? I know when I do a fresh installation of Windows 7 and IE 9 I have trouble with some sites until I adjust the security settings. Thank you again Microsoft.

I would recommend deleting, then reinstalling, the Parallax font.

Thanks for the ideas.
I will be away for a few days.
If I get it resolved, I'll let you know.

Try Ubuntu Linux and Firefox -- Windows updates have a way of throwing things out of whack, Chrome seems to misbehave upon occasion. What's the point of all this perpetual change? It seems only to demand one to pay out money that can be better spent at Parallax, Sparkfun, and other delightful places.

Sorry but how is this actually accomplished?

@Pliers: Did you ever resolve this issue? I getting tired of firing-up IE every time I need to be able to read code.

Thanks for asking, Mickster.

I did not fix it until I read your reply and decided to give it another try.

I went into the Windows font directory and previewed the Parallax font. There I could see the issue with different font sizes.
All I needed to do was change the text size in my WEB browser.
