To anyone who might know:
I can try changing the font on my browser, but there’s something I don’t understand and am wondering if someone can explain it to me. The fonts are different on different web sites I visit, even though my browser is set to whatever the default font is (I’ve never changed it).
For example, if you go to healthboards.com and look at their current format the font is smaller and different than in the old format from last year (which I think was better). (The archived files using the larger font are still accessible on their site.) And other message boards I’ve read have different fonts as well. So how would changing the font on my browser make a difference?
If anyone can explain this I'd greatly appreciate it.
