MX 2004: Help Panel Font Sizes

Help Panel Font Sizes
Just discovered a weird thing. The Help Panel’s fonts were all of a sudden too small to read this morning. I found that they inherit their size from Internet Explorer’s font settings (I’m talking Win XP of course). The kick is that if you change the settings back to something appropriate in IE, you need to relaunch Flash MX to get the Help Panel to display correctly again. Just an FYI…

“…For example, Macromedia’s new Help content uses relative font sizes (such as x-small or xx-small), instead of fixed point sizes (such as 8-pt or 6-pt). Why is this good? Because if I find the font size too small, I can bump it up easily by Ctrl-scrolling my mouse wheel …”
