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.
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.

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.

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.
