Help file font size

For some reason the help file I open with F1 is suddenly using a much bigger font than previously. I looked but couldn't find any way to change it back to smaller! How can I do that?

Also, for some reason scrolling the pages inside the help file is slow as hell, especially when there are images present. Any idea what's going on?

Windows .chm HTML Help File?

If so, check "Options" (toolbar button) >> "Internet Options..." >> "Accessibility" >> "[ ] Ignore Font Styles..."

Try Ctrl+0, or hold Ctrl and scroll with the mouse wheel.

Danilo's method allowed me to change the font face to something else, but the font size remains annoyingly large. Trond's method didn't work -- it was the first thing I tried.

It also might be DPI settings for your OS. Look for "changing DPI settings (your current operating system)" in google. Note this will change font size everywhere in your OS

Ah, I found a solution! Here's what I had to do:

1. Open help (F1) in PB. Help file opens.
2. Choose Options -> Internet Options -> Fonts -> "How to Ignore Preset Fonts" -> a NEW help window opens.
3. On the new help window I can choose Options -> Text Size -> Medium (it was Largest for me, which made the text bigger. I have no idea how that happened).

Way to go, Microsoft.

Thanks to all who helped! :)
