In IE go to Tools - Internet Options - Fonts...

Language Script should be "Latin Based"

Web Page Font should be "Microsoft Sans Serif"

Plain Text Font should be "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono"

That should do it....

Try This

Goto View on the top bar then Text Size, change it from Smallest to Medium

That should solve it

Its nothing to feel stupid about , There's that many menus and options in I.E it can be difficult to know where to start when something changes. I'm really not sure how it would of changed by itself but It happened to me along time ago so thats the only reason I knew where to look :)
