I’m currently developing a site for my University’s library, and a very strange issue came up. The font on the website, whether the live version or the one on my machine (not the server) is always smaller than it should be. This is only the case on two computers–my own, and my supervisor. It happens in all browsers. I’m pretty sure it’s happening on both of ours because we’ve handled code, but I can’t think of any CSS rules that would be affecting it. To make it worse, it’s affecting two different CSSs–the old site (which I have not touched) and the new site which is intended to be rolled out tomorrow. I’ve tried fixing the way the computer displays fonts, the way browsers display fonts, changed the resolution, and tried zooming in. None of those methods worked. Also, other computers with the same resolution and monitors look at it just fine. No other websites that I visit have this issue. I’m stumped. Any ideas?
The site is here: http://library.uis.edu

I think this might be a font issue, rather then a font size issue. Myriad pro is not considered a websave font. As your machine and probabaly the one of your supervisor have probabaly Adobe installed, wich comes with Myriad, you are seeing the site in Myriad, while the other machines are seeing the site in Verdana. (not entirely sure though)
