Going Bonkers - Font is way bigger in IE

[laflair13]

Hey all,

I have no clue what else to try. Anything I do, the font looks way bigger in IE which is messing up my layout. I have tried changing the font, the size, I dont know what else to do.

The site in question is http://hostwp.com/instant/

If anyone out there has any advice for me, please let me know because this has been driving me crazy for a few hrs now.

You have style3 font size = medium.
medium is different in different browsers.
Set you base font size as a percentage instead, and set style3 as a percentage.

Thanks for the reply, I changed all the small, mediums, & larges, to the actual pixels and its working and looking good so far.

You'd be good to not use px for fonts (who uses them anyway?) because IE users can't increase text size with pixels.

I agree. This has been my experience also. Another tip is to find wordpress themes that look good in both IE and FireFox and just study/review their css. Learn how they were designed that way when you are making your own stylesheet you can use the themes as examples.
