I haven't seen this. Does it happen on other webpages? You can change the font size in the Settings menu.

(I'm not an admin)

I do not think its a good idea to change the font size just for healthunlocked, since all the other websites use normal fonts. Thank you for the suggestion

With the web browser I use, Firefox (current latest) under Windows 10, I can adjust the size for each website.

I can use the Ctrl key and Plus (+) or Minus (-) to adjust the size. Ctrl key and 0 (zero) resets the zoom level to 100%. That scaling then applies to the website I am on - only. Does not affect any other website. Those key combinations work for many browsers.

I find that standard (100%) means the characters are too large and I drop it to 90%. This setting remains in place for HealthUnlocked alone whether I close all windows, restart my computer, apply updates, or anything else!

It is very easy to inadvertently do something which adjusts the display size. Perhaps you have done so?

It’s your computer/phone/iPad

You need to enlarge text by pinching outward

Of course, only works on touch screen - that is, not most computers.

Its just Healthunlocked website, my computer like any other computer or laptop is set to normal, that is, if the print is small it will show it as small, if it is normal font it will show it as that. It's ok I will manage

Just try pressing Ctrl and 0 (zero) together when you are viewing a Healthunlocked page. :-)

That will remove any scaling which is happening on Healthunlocked.

(If everything and all other sites are displaying properly, it really must be a setting that is affecting just Healthunlocked. I know I have accidentally reset the scaling/zoom level on sites sometimes.)

That should work in Firefox, Chrome, Edge and might work in other browsers as well.

You can adjust the text by clicking on options and using Zoom on your browser have you tried that?

That usually changes the settings for the whole browser - not just one site. Which might not be ideal. :-(

I have mine on 100% and it is ok on every site I use.
