Hi All

Could anyone explain to me why i get different fonts in different browsers? have been trying to fix it for a while - the main browser i tend to work with is firefox which i think is looking ok but with ie6 and ie7 some of the fonts are different and even bigger!!

Any ideas guys n girls?

Not just IE but in Firefox also.

Almost more than likely due to the use of the CSS sizing of regular, small, large etc (which from accessibility viewpoint is great) rather than using fixed sixes 12px, 18px etc (which from a design layout viewpoint is great)

Options are to either specify pixel dimensions for the fonts or check out somewhere like http://alistapart.com/stories/sizematters/ for various CSS solutions
