Question

This is driving me mad…

I was doing my asp.net sandbox website when out of the blue I start to realize that in IE8 (IE7 compatible view or not) does not show CSS font proper…

in the image below I removed all CSS and add only one:

body {
    font-size: 11px;
}

and this is (sadly) the result:

alt text http://www.balexandre.com/temp/2009-06-08_0927_iefont.png

Is there any soul willing to help me…? this is driving me mad since saturday night! I can’t find a proper solution, I really thought is was something with CSS, so I even validate all CSS through CSS Validator and validate all the page…

nothing changed a bit of the result 🙁

All the help, or even a blow in the right direction is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

P.S. both Opera and Chrome as well Safari display the same result as FF, the right result.

If the text is inside a table (as I see in your screenshots) try:

body, td {
    font-size: 11px;
}
