Sounds that you zoomed a page by accident.

You can have done that via Ctrl and - or by holding down the Ctrl key and rotating the mouse scroll wheel.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

Thank you COR-EL for that information. It makes sense that I most likely did accidentally touch the Ctrl button by mistake at the same time as scrolling with my mouse. I was, at the time scrolling down through a blog when it happened.
