Strange Font Issue on IE6


By steve - Posted on 24 September 2008

I had a customer call with an issue with IE6 not displaying a surveymonkey.com survey correctly. Turns out the problem showed up on other websites as well. After googling around for awhile, I figured out it was NOT a problem with ANY of these issues:

  • dll's needing to be applied with regsvr32
  • settings in IE6
  • cookies that needed purging
  • cache's needing clearing
  • temporary folders needing clearing
  • etc... etc... etc...

Turns out the user had turned on the "High Contrast" option in the control panel. To clear it, simply open Control Panel, open Accessibility Options, click the Display tab, and uncheck "Use High Contrast".
