mallinersha--Have you set up a style sheet template?

From IE Help
"Changing Web page fonts and background colors
When Web authors and designers create Web pages, they often specify particular type (font) faces, colors, sizes, and background colors. These settings are specified for each item, or in a "style sheet ", which is a type of template for specifying how different styles should appear throughout a Web page or site.

You can override any or all of these settings, which is useful if you have limited or low vision. You can specify your font and color preferences for all pages that do not use style sheets, and then you can specify whether to use any or all of your preferences on pages that use style sheets. "
See #1 for further info on that
1 "To specify fonts and colors to always use for Web pages
On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options.
On the General tab, click Accessibility.
Change the settings as needed. "


2) "To display Web page text in a different font
In Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
On the General tab, click Fonts.
In the Web page font and Plain text font lists, click the fonts you want."

From OE Help
3) "To change the font used to display messages

On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Read tab.
Click Fonts, and then change the settings "

 

Hello, I signed up after finding this thread on google.
I'm having the same problem. I tried all those things Welshjim posted but to no avail.
Not all text is italic, ie. the text on this forum appears normal, but "default" text like on Google, or even in games, appear in italic.
I have no idea how this happened.
Using Win XP SP2. Any help would be appreciated.
