Web fonts displaying larger

I'm building a web site for a client who uses Vista. Mysteriously, his
system is displaying web fonts at a slightly larger size. He's using
Explorer 7, text size is set to medium and zoom to 100% and the
specified font families are all present. I've run comparisons with
Explorer 7 on my own XP system and other Vista boxes, and all display
the correct text size.

Has anyone else encountered this, or able to suggest a fix?

Is his system DPI set to a larger size?

Right click desktop_Personalize_Adjust font size(DPI)

Thanks! Turns out that it was set to 106 rather than 96.

My client, who has owned the computer from new and is the sole user,
does not recall having altered this himself and is wondering if it could
have been changed automatically by a program. Is this likely?
