12-point font is now the size of what 11-point font used to be

Title is basically self-explanatory. I was writing a document in 12-point font, and my finger slipped on the keyboard and then the size of the font became the size of whatever font one point smaller than it formerly was. 12-point font is like 11-point, 10-point is like 9-point, 14-point is like 13-point, and so on. I hope someone can understand and help me reverse this problem.

    If you can send me a document that exhibits the issue, I will investigate it.

    To elaborate, I'd like to put my font settings back to where they were before instead of having to just change font sizes. I'd like my 12-point font to be exactly the size it was before I messed it up. I just found out that 13-point font actually is now a little wider than 12-point font formerly was for me.

    The zoom ratio is apparently what was causing the "issue", but I am not sure how the difference in the size by 1 point was determined.

    Is this just on the screen display, or does it also print smaller? If the former, make sure you haven't just changed the Zoom ratio.
