Default Question for Mac users

When I first opened up Safari today, the text on every website had been changed somehow. I didn't change any sort of setting, so I am not sure why this happened. Either the text changed, or the font size changed, and everything looks different.

Is there a way to reset the font settings? Or change the size? Or, if you could list what font settings you are using in Safari, I will try to change it to that to see if it reverts back to what it was.

Thanks.

Did you accidentally press 'command' and '+' or '-'? That increases and decreases the font size. See if that gets it back to normal.

No, that seems to make it too big or too small.

Did you try reloading the pages or the browser, sometimes the CSS scripts don't load properly for some reason, usually reloading can clear that.

I have another Mac related question. Can someone recommend me a good bluetooth mouse for my MacBook?

I'm most definitely in the minority here, but I kinda like the Apple mouse...it just integrates really well with my computer. The side button thing to show all your open windows is really handy for me, and it does in fact have two buttons, you just have to set it up right. Only thing that pisses me off is that the scroll wheel won't work from time to time

How much is that one going to set me back?

I use a Microsoft Bluetooth notebook mouse on my Macbook. Works awesome and actually functions like a real mouse (unlike anything Apple ever released...)

I use this one with my MacBook Pro. Works great, and matches the motif. Apple's mice are pretty much the only Apple products I can't stand.

I use the apple mighty mouse.... definatly takes awhile to get used to but I personally enjoy it. When you run windows in boot camp you can just click the right side of the mouse and it is the same as a right click. I like the wheel because I do work with some big pictures that I have to zoom into and I like how the wheel can scroll horizontally as well.

Thanks, but that seems to make the text way smaller than I am used to.

I think I am going to just have to suck it up and deal with the new font I have.

Create a new user, log in as that user, and compare the settings. That's probably the easiest way to get it back to default for your system.

How do I create a new user?

Edit- Now that I am looking at CP, the font has either reset itself, or I am already used to the new font.
