Over the past few days I've been having a strange problem with
Thunderbird 13.0.1
Several posts (and emails) are being rendered in a font that needs a
microscope to read it. e.g. the post by TNP Subject: All the windmills
in the UK are not supplying enough electricity is one such, as is his
reply to Harry. Also a reply from Tim W There are many more, all from
different ISPs and different news readers.
Anyone got an idea of what's going on and how to fix it?
Cheers
Iain

try in preferences under text size.
Also look at charecater encodings

To people who know too much, it is a sad fact
that they know how little is really possible -
and how hard it is to achieve it.

Does doing CTRL + a few times solve it?


(Effects like that are often down to the use of unusual character
encodings in messages - quite often triggered by things that have been
pasted into a message from another source with "odd" characters like MS
Word style auto quotes etc.

However, in this case, the messages you cite appear to have normal UTF-8
encoding. They are also displaying here just fine).

Yes, go for an old version of the software. Nobody has a good word to say
about the current Mozilla policy of release and be damned about the bugs.

Also looks fine here on 15.0a2

If it's a settings issue then Unsub/resub might be worth a try, since
Thunderbird seems to "forget" a lot of the individual group settings
when you do that

I had to go to Tools Options Display Formating Advanced and
select User Defined then set a Minimum Font size of 20
