osx font and bars too large, and font is blurry

[getapony]

hey all

i've searched the forums for an answer to this problem but haven't found anything specifically on it. there are 2 problems, possibly related:

1. all the font and bars for my system (finder, finder bar, safari, applications, etc) is now larger than it was, but i didn't change anything (to my knowledge). even the buttons look bigger (the apple, the home button on safari,etc). is there a way to change the size of everything? i couldn't find anything in system preferences and i don't know how this happened.

2. the second thing is that my font is blurry and a little more pixlelated. i have never had this problem before! it happened at the same time that everything got bigger. it's actually causing me eye pain. i tried the font smoothing option in sys. pref. and it helps a little, but doesn't fix the problem. i am wondering if it isn't smooth because of the large-ness problem.

i'll try anything that might help.. i don't understand whats goin on! thanks so much.
